My mom used to say "All worry is a lack of faith." What she meant by that was that if you believed in the existence of God and in God's ultimate plan, you had no need to worry.

Well, that's fine for those who already have the gift of faith. What about us flounderers, who think we have to orchestrate the rest of the world so we can feel comfortable in it?

Your worries sound like you're projecting pictures in your head about what will happen if...(fill in the blank!). A person does that in order to be kind of prepared for disappointment and nasty surprises. Only problem is, what you project almost never actually happens. Instead, something else you weren't even expecting comes along, and you're unprepared anyway.

If worry is making you stressed out and unhappy, fire that projectionist in your head. He's a pessimist, and NOT your friend! Instead, practice finding something enjoyable about each thing that really does happen, as it happens. Like sitting next to a really hot chick on that airplane...:-))
