As I continue to go through a huge list of acronyms Betty left me, I have just made up my second one which is DEW=Don't Expect (the) Worst. I had a medical appt. a couple days ago and my emotions went out of control with worry and fear. I was imaging the worst news and perhaps needing surgery. And guess what--I have a very minor problem which some medicine should clear up. All that worry, stress, and fear, for nothing. l don't want to do that to myself again. (Usually I don't) So I thought up DEW which I need to remind myself of if this happens again. Love to all.

This is wonderful and I'm glad that things went OK for you.
... also, One Day At A Time, How Important Is It
I'm also a fan of 'don't sweat the small things' , keep your energies for important things in life, just go with the flow and take matters one at a time x
