Anxiety

What makes your day interesting? Anxiety!

What a boring life it would be without anxiety?

Everything is going smoothing and then…

The television falls off the wall.

The transmission needs replacement.

One of the kids needs a ride to a soccer game and the other needs to go to the movies.

A car hits the dog.

A cabinet door falls off.

The flight is delayed and then canceled.

The battery dies on the phone.

All the socks are in the dirty clothes.

The hair color for the big party didn’t turn out right.

The computer gets hacked.

Flat tire.

A check bounced.

Your wife finds out about your girlfriend.

Your doctor tells you the results of the test.

The neighbor’s dog barks.

Can’t remember where the car is parked at the shopping center.

The store does not have the right size.

Waiting for the pizza delivery.

Getting arrested.

When she wants to go home early.

Closing time at the pub.

Leaky roofs.

Rats in the yard.

Pregnant daughter.

Eviction.

Living with the parents.

Debt.

The list goes on and on…

So how do we deal with all this stress?

Take a vacation. Rest on a sunny beach under an umbrella listening to the waves and reading a book. Travel to a foreign land and engulf in a different culture.

Get away from it all…but

When you come back anxiety will still be there.

It is what motivates you. It is in your dreams. It is in your stack of bills. It is in the nightly discussions.

Life is pretty good without this anxiety.

The past week has been over 100 degrees. Without air conditioning, it is HOT. Hot enough to slow down the functions of walking, eating, transportation or thinking.

This is a trend and that is anxiety for anyone to comprehend. When the grid is overloaded and the fans stops, we will become puddles.

That is anxiety.
