Days Of Healing, Days Of Joy........................................Nov. 16th

"When I am anxious it is because I am living in the future. When I am depressed it is because I am living in the past".............................Jimmy R.

Like many words of wisdom, the truth behind this thought is a lot easier to agree with than it is to live with. The everyday reality is that we do tend to be anxious when we're trying to be responsible for all the projects on our list. It's easy to go too far - to worry about bills that aren't due yet, events planned for months in the future, disasters that may or may not happen.

And it's easy to spend too much time rummaging around in the closets of our memories. Opportunities lost years ago, promising relationships that almost (but didn't) work out, real or imagined rejections - these can all be dragged out of the closet and made to dance on the stage of our consciousness.

What about right now? Is the sun shining today? Are we healthy? Are we free to move around and shake things up?
