Reduction in force; Sub-Arctic temperatures and the wood of pews popping during 8:30 Mass; Peoples Gas bills' ComEd bills; Unemployed neighbors; Goofballs on the February 2nd Primary Ballots with better name placements than the qualified people; Kids with too much texting capacity and no communication skills; anxiety over the changes at work; Yemen becomes important all of a sudden and the kid down the block is deploying to Afghanistan - we'll be okay.
Read this:
Anxiety is the greatest evil that can befall a soul, except sin. God commands you to pray, but He forbids you to worry.
-- St. Francis de Sales
Click my post title and soak in some Sinatra - the lyrics could only have been written by a woman - and they were.
This lovely day will lengthen into evening, we'll sigh goodbye to all we ever had.
Alone where we have walked together, I'll remember April and be glad.
I'll be content you loved me once in April.
Your lips were warm and love and spring were new.
I'm not afraid of autumn and her sorrow, for I'll remember April and you.
The fire will dwindle into glowing ashes, for flames live such a little while.
I won't forget but I won't be lonely, I'll remember April and smile.
Music by Gene DePaul and lyrics by Patricia Johnston, and Don Raye
It will be a Happy New Year
