Worries.... :(

What is the one thing you worry about the most lately? That thing that kind of sticks in the back of your mind?

Mine is money. I am constantly worried about how to pay the bills. If I would work harder and make more money, I honestly think I could actually be a fairly happy person.

Next?

Finding a career.

What to wear tomorrow?!! :p :rolleyes: :D

My girls; their future. My mother; her health.

Money? I no longer buy lottery tickets... I am convinced that I'll never hit it, because God deemed I'd be dangerous if I ever did... and, He knows best, right? LOL!

Seriously, though.. yeah... to be able to financially cover all bases, at all times, guaranteed... would be nice... *sigh*...

~Rose~

Competition. And not just in business ;)

In no particular order:


Money
I worry if my son is actually going to finish college (he's struggling right now)
I worry if I can afford to send my daughter to college in 8 years
I worry about the immigration process Remi and I are going through right now (yes, it's still on :) )
I worry if I can afford to do some much needed repairs on my home


I really do try not to worry too much about anything, though, because worry doesn't help the situation.

I like my old signature line:

"Worry is the darkroom where negatives develop"

wether or not if i'm making the right career choice. it's such a tough thing to know at a young age what career you want to do for the next 30+ years. i worry it may not be financially or emotionally satisfying.

like whiterose's son...will i EVER graduate! i'm sure i will, it's just taking such a long time...i'm in my 3rd year and still have a few years to go. :rolleyes:

The IRS taking all my hard earned money.

I worry about what the world will be like for my grandchildren.

I worry on those take-offs, when the plane goes straight up!

I worry about the age-gap thing and aging.

I worry about our enviornment and the economy....especially mine.

I worry about pleasing God and the spiritual growth of my children.

Not necessarily in this order!

like whiterose's son...will i EVER graduate! i'm sure i will, it's just taking such a long time...i'm in my 3rd year and still have a few years to go.
Don't worry about graduation. Start worrying about what you'll be doing after graduation. Because in this economy, unless you have a medical degree, engineering degree, or an MBA, you most likely will have one hell of a time finding a decent job. I've been at this job search for more than a year and a half now, and I'm still working in retail making $6.50 an hour.

Money seems to be at the top of just about everyone's list. Same here. And added to that we're being kicked out of our home this summer. I worry that we won't be able to qualify for buying a small piece of property to live on.

Whiterose, I love that old signature line of yours. How true it is.

I worry about getting a job the most. I quit my job on April 22nd due to a suspension that came about from all the emotional mess my life is in right now. I supposedly had a boss who understood what I was going through. I may have been late, but was the most productive person there and she knows that. Oh well her loss. She's learning what I did now that I'm gone.

Anyway, I sent out my resume' and a cover letter to a company a few days ago and they just called and want me to come in tomorrow to interview. Wooo Hooo heh I think someone's been listening to my prayers. Now, to not be nervous, be revved up and get the dang thing so I can stop feeling useless and bored and depressed. I need to work and be busy. It's driving me nuts with all this time on my hands.

I sit every day and shoot out resumes' and cover letters via email and snail mail and do jigsaw puzzles, eat and sleep and try not to waste gas driving to places that I know won't hire me.

Chessa~
My life is driving me nuts one second at a time aarrgghh lol

It seems that money is on about everyone's list including mine.

1. Money for:

My daughter going to college in a few years.
Paying the everyday items, gas, food, house payment, car payment.
To ensure my grandbaby has something from me.
Keeping peace in my relationship as lack of it has caused many issues in solid relationships.


But why do we really worry about these things ?? Does it help when we worry ??? :confused:

no particular order here either

I worry about:

Money, but I have started a business so I am being pro-active (I hope)

Being in love again, will I ever? (I hope)

My car, will it hold up till I buy a new one next year? (I hope)

thank God for hope is all I can say *smile*

I worry daily about the safety of me and my honey....we drive a very dangerous road to work everyday where many people have had fatal accidents, almost monthly.

I worry about my loved ones, and their health.

FLAT TAX NOW!!
No. National sales tax now. Abolish income tax.

My man concern/worry is my future....achieving all the goals I set for myself, I don't want to disappoint myself.

Secondarly, I worry about my financies...made some stupid mistakes (guess it comes with the territory of becoming an adult...only 23), however I'm getting those in order.

Lastly, I worry about my three little ones (soon to be four) and their future. I want my nephews to have all the advantages that their mother and I never had. Just want those little ones to be happy and be void of all unneccessary pain and hardships.

Nu :confused:

The ONE thing that I worry about the most is keeping tabs on my children in public. Especially the youngest. I'm always afraid they'll get lost, or worse, hurt.

Life is not about loss. Loss is just a part of life. If you make pain your life, then you aren't really living.

Life is about joy and how you deal/live with it. Only if you can accept joy, can you then live, with the loss and pain that are a part of life, without letting it take over your life.

omg! Dabollocks posted something serious... and I tend to agree, in a way. :eek:

Seriously though, isn't it the hard times that mold us into the person that we are today? While we don't wish anything bad on our loved ones, hopefully they will learn and grow from life's experience and not be given more than they can bear at any one time. All too often, the sheltered individuals don't appreciate what they have or can't deal with bad times when they do arise... and they will happen at some point, in some form.

My worries... money is always lurking in the back, but financial issues always have a way of working themselves out. I'm a person with simple needs in the material sense. I'm much more concerned if I will ever be blessed with a lasting, loving relationship.

Yes, the hard times make you appreciate the good times and learn from your mistakes, but is life really all about the pain and the loss?

I worry about money!!!
I worry about not being able to travel to US and get married in July (money issue also)
I worry that my oldest daughter never will accept us being together. :(

money... of course

and the MS.....that it will really grab me by the hair one day soon and i'll be useful to no one but especially my boys. i worry i won't be able to take care of them and they'll grow up with a mommy who can't walk or see or talk. yup, i worry bout that alot. almost as much as money lol

Kristin wrote: Loss is just a part of life That's not true!! The more you live, the more you lose!! No 2 ways about it. Think about it!! :cool:

EM!!!! exhale for god sakes! but a lovely shade of blue...

GEG..*H*

now me..i worry about my daughters(29,26...age doesn't matter ;))
and i worry about dropping dead for the hell of it..no reason, but it has always been with me for as long as i can remember...sooo, life in the moment!

well, I've had such a difficult life that I don't worry anymore. I just think that if I survived so far, things should only be getting better from now on. I have fallen so many times and I know I might fall again. But I have learnt that 99% of the things that we worry about never happen. When real trouble hits you in the face (the kind that when it happens it takes years for you to get back on your feet), it arrives un-announced, so why worry ? (is this correct english)?.

I worry about finishing all my schooling and being alone the rest of my life..and money , health, and all that good stuff ;)

I worry wether my sight is gonna hold up long enough for me to complete my degree, PhD (need about 7 years total).............. I'm not worried about going blind, I have lived with that possibility since my eyes were damaged, the worry is that it could happen before I finish my studies :(

are we going on strike today???????? do i have a pension????? united going to abergate the union contract..... wow i have no flight benefits no medical..... where am i going to work now......................... :mad: :(

That's Awesome you'll be getting your Phd! I'm physically disabled myself...Goodluck!

hmmmmmm
I worry about my kids..anything under the sun I will always worry about them..
I worry about what the world is becomeing what will be left for my kids and grand-kids to be
I worry about that I may be the problem in a realationship..maybe Im not good enough maybe Im to weak..maybe Im to strong ..maybe Im to set in my ways to make a change
I worry that I enable to many ppl to walk all over me..and the ppl I should let in I push away..I worry I will never get the chance to let them in

**inhale and remember**
The Serenity Prayer
(full text)

GOD, grant me the serenity

to accept the things
I cannot change,
Courage to change the

things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.
Living ONE DAY AT A TIME;

Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this

sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make

all things right if I
surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy

in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next. Amen
Reinhold Neibuhr-1926

I worry about making the right choices and decisions for my family and whether I can trust people to lead me in the right direction with their advice.

I worry.......about worrying.......

Next?

!. My brother disappeared...it was voluntary but I worry.
2. My pets are getting older and I worry that I will not be able to cure them of their illnesses as it's so expensive.
3. That when I move in with Sara in midsummer I won't be able to find a job.
4. My mom's hearing is going and it's sudden I'm afraid it's something more than just old age.
Not in any order mind you.

I worry about everything...but money is at the top of the list right now...just for basic needs...nothing fancy! It just seems like people who have money never understand what it's like not to have it...and people who don't have money (or never have) really don't know what they are missing so that "desire" is not there...it's tough...life is hard...but I agree with Kristin..it's not all about the pain and struggle...life is also about those times when we don't have any pain and don't have to struggle and it's about realizing how great it is not to have the pain or have to struggle...if only for one day...or even if only for one hour...at this point even that would be nice! :)

Chess~


You have someone that has encouraged you in every way to be positive about your job search, that you can find a good job without too much trouble. And after mailing the first letter out you received a call back !! Try to be more positive about yourself !! Money isn't everything. Yes, keeping busy is important, but you needed some time off anyway.

:)

I never was much of a worrier, and people that worry excessively sometimes get paralyzed by that worry, dontcha think?

I'm one of those carpe diem people....sieze the day for it's all you have. And what if I spent today worrying about tomorrow and tomorrow never came? I'd be pissed at myself if it happened to me.

Worry is interest on a debt you haven't incurred yet. My life has been far from perfect...i've been broke for a long time (not anymore thankfully), health issues, horrendous family issues, etc. but I deal with them as they come.

When the light goes on and says, ok now you have to deal with this bad event for sure, then I deal with it. Sure I might worry awhile after it happens, but I allow myself only a brief time to worry and move on.

My dad had the sunniest disposition. Every day he woke up was a new day and he had an appreciation for all the things that never cost money. I guess I am a chip off the old block in that respect. It is a gift to be able to enjoy the very simplest of things in life as you go along.

So if you can let go of some of your worries, please do. I promise it will all turn out somehow, whether you've worried yourself over it or not.
