Give it your best.
“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, but from wanting to control it.”—Kahlil Gibran—
Wishing that a result would arrive earlier—or wishing it would arrive later—or wishing that it would never arrive at all—never accomplishes anything.
If something we do will enhance the outcome of a project, then we should do it. If nothing we do will enhance the outcome, than there is absolutely no reason to worry about it, just wait and see.
The best cure for anxiety is a large dose of optimism. Give yourself the necessary injection.
Close your eyes
Breathe Deeply, and tell yourself over and over,
“Everything is going to be all right.”
This will give you a smile which will be fun to share.
John P. Schulz—“Sweetie Drives on Chemo Days.”

And now John Denver. Mama played his Greatest Hits CD over and over while she rocked Aub, he first grandchild, to sleep. She’d belt out “Take Me Home” over the protest crying. Thanks for all the memories you’re bringing back.
