I think I’ve adopted this phrase as my mantra for this year. I know it’s part of the 12-step program beliefs and I think there’s definite merit in it.
I worry. A lot. Sometimes my worry is in danger of bordering on hypochondria. That’s a place I try very hard to avoid. It’s tough at times, though, when your body is going off in 50 different directions and you have no reason why.
Part of my worrying tends to lean forward into the future. I’m discovering there is a lot of stress in thinking that way. So, I’m putting the brakes on that thinking, that worry, and working with each day as it comes.
It’s a tough habit to break.
Movie Review
We saw Children of Men this weekend. It was a decent movie, but as some critics called it, “the Blade Runner of this decade”, they’re wayyyyyyyy off! There is no way that Children of Men can be compared to Blade Runner.
Children Of Men has tons of gritty atmosphere, and that’s part of the problem. You get so distracted by the scenery, that you forget what the story is all about. And therein lies another problem. There are some excellent characters, very well acted, but the story is thin. My husband and I walked out of the movie with lots of questions.
I don’t mind having spent $18 in movie tickets on Children of Men, but it isn’t enough to draw me back to the film.

I just saw the trailer for that movie yesterday and thought it looked interesting. It actually sounds very similar to a crappy scifi movie. I remember several years ago watching this movie where women couldn’t have children anymore. This one woman is pregnant and they put the fetus in a protective tube thing… and the movie is about a guy trying to get her out of the main land and to the safety of some far away “safe place” so that her child can be born.
I’m not sure I want to see Children of Men, but I liked seeing your review of it. Thanks for sharing.
I understand your worries. I feel the same way with my condition. Taking it a day at a time is key, but it can be difficult!
Remember that song about 10 years ago about Sunscreen? One of the words of wisdom by Baz was:
“Dont worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum. The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind; the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday.”
thanks for the movie tip!!
