A tranquil mind. Worry free work. Restful sleep. Always enough money. The blessing of good health. How many of these things do you not have?

I have none of them, I hear you say. Then you are like all the English speaking people. And like all the non-English speaking people. And like all the people who ever existed from before the Romans when history began.

It seems we're not here just to enjoy the view. There are things to be done. We are warriors and worriers. And some anxiety spurs us on. The most we can ask is for a little time spent with friends. Time to warm our hands around the camp fire.

It's when anxiety reaches a point that overwhelms us that the trouble begins. But we are warriors trained to carry on. Only snowflakes bottle out. So we dig ourselves deeper into the midden of mental ill health.

But nobody beats anxiety disorder by doing more of the same that's making us ill. We need to make some changes around here and usually it's pretty obvious what they should be.

I desire all of these things (and a bag of chips!) 😊

[Jeff1943 in reply to Cured2020]

Is that sweet potato chips or normal ones?

[Cured2020 in reply to Jeff1943]
