I was beside myself when the Y2K event with all the computers going to foul up. I fill my bath with water (seems silly now) stocked a room full of tinned food.

As each nation around the world celebrated the new year (and nobodies lights went out) I began to relax. I was petrified and people laughed at me. But I just couldn't shift it.

Each year has its own tragedies, twisters, earth quakes, tsunamis, fires, floods, wars, illnesses etc. No point in worrying about any of them. If you need to do anything constructive you will take steps as advised if it happens in your area.

I also learned that not watching the news was a great relief. TV seems to bring possibilities into the picture that will never happen. If you must hear some news just use the radio as they only seem to have short burst of news and don't come with the graphics that can in themselves be traumatizing.

I have also heard the predictions of the world ending and comets etc. So far nada (nothing).

So just a day at a time hun.

We are all in this together........... Chat again in 2013.
