Day 5: Terrible Misfortunes that Never Happened

I woke myself up worrying again this morning.

Rent was due today and I just knew my paycheck from my biggest client wouldn’t be in the mailbox. Then I started running through all the other bills that were due and what I would do if the paycheck didn’t come in until later next week…

 

 

I checked the mail after my babysitting gig this morning. Guess what was in there?

Yes, my wonderful paycheck.

All that worrying and stressing for naught. It makes me a little sick to think of how much time I’ve wasted this week worrying about this.

And then I got to thinking, how much of my life have I spent worrying about all the terrible misfortunes that never actually happen? House fires, car wrecks, OU football home losses…oh wait, they did lose to K-State at home this season. And to Tech at home last season. Guess some terrible misfortunes do happen occasionally!  But seriously, how many hours have I wasted worrying about things that are likely never going to happen?

Too many.

On Monday, I’ll go over all the worries I’ve been tracking the past few days. I’m a little embarrassed by just how long this list is getting…
