Very often I spin and spin in worry. Will my kids come home from school safe? Will my husband make it through another night? These feelings started to make me sick. Then, of all places, I heard some announcer on ESPN say, “Worry is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere.” And, just like that, I decided to break that damn rocking chair. I can find much better things to do with my time.
