[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 525896"] I don't have any advice. I hate to say - "let it go - it's outta your realm" - because truthfully, I am not someone who can let things go just because I can't do anything about them. I think I read this on a board here - could have been a magazine - could have been any number of websites -- I can't remember it well enough to do it justice - but the phrase was learned by the author while in therapy IIRC and reading it was one of those "ding ding ding" moments for me. [U][B]"don't awfulise"[/B][/U] In looking for my source (which I didn't find) I DID find this definition: [LEFT][COLOR=#555555][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4][I]It's a human tendency to fear the worst. It's a way we 'inoculate' ourselves against future disappointment. But most of the time, the worst doesn't happen. And should something bad come to pass, I must realize that I will be able to call on unexpected reserves of strength and resourcefulness when the time comes .[/I][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#555555][FONT=Georgia][SIZE=4][I]I must not let fear of the[B] awful [/B]keep me from enjoying the [B]awfully[/B] good[/I]. [SIZE=3][FONT=arial]That said, it's a good thing I can't cross stitch - or my house would be full of pillows, framed stitchwork, etc with all of these cliches that sound the "ding ding ding" LOL Things are good now, and I know how we are always waiting for the next shoe to fall - but try to just go with the good for now. Just for now. And cross the other bridge when you get there. I know, I know - easier to type than to do. XXOO[/FONT][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
