Don't Go There 'Til You Get There

“Don’t Go There ‘Til You Get There”. What a load of crap. My whole life has been spent worrying about what might happen. So I am reading this very odd book- this book that seems to have been left for me. I cannot escape it. Four times it has been left. I have found it four times, in mysterious places, when no one knows where it came from. To me that means pick up the damn thing and see what’s in it. Creepy.

Anyway, this silly message that is against what I tend to practice is in the book. I TRY to be a laid back person, but the funniest part of us “Type A” personalities is that we CANNOT relax and NOT worry about things. We feel as if it’s our job to forsee everything that might happen and prevent it and protect everyone and everything. I got more and more into the reading and it’s a funny, wonderful story of a husband and wife dealing with a disease….hhhmmmm…..It’s about different ways that they cope. I might love it. I wonder why I have it. Maybe I need to worry about that???

I was thinking about this phrase, “Don’t Go There ‘Til You Get There” and it was really bugging me. EATING at me. Since I do not sleep, about 2 am it hit me and I was struck with a fit of laughter. I could worry about several things- war, disease, death….I have been hit with all of these things. None of them are funny, but what the hell am I worried about. I know it can get worse, but I also know that sometimes the things that I have worried about have never happened. What a waste of energy. Usually these lessons that I am taught are fleeting and I have to be somewhat beaten over the head with them, but for now at least I can be amused and astounded. I wonder how the story ends?

Also, how did this book get here? There I go- worrying again. Time to read.
