Anxiety

The new York Times has an article on anxiety. One way to handle it is to keep a journal. I awoke today at 3 a.m. and I know it is because I have a lot of anxiety about selling the house. There has only been one couple who has looked at it - they were here for a second visit yesterday evening and that is a good sign. Still I think if they don't make an off I worry, worry, worry, that I could be stuck here. A friend sent me an email about living today - I try to remember to enjoy the dance of life and most of all to trust that I am in God's hands and He is watching over me. Life is not meant to be an anxiety trip. It is so sad that I continue to do so. Simplifying my life, I think will be a healthy solution for me. I do not need to own a house - when this one sells it would be best for me to be an apartment dweller. I am taking a needlepoint lesson tomorrow - I want something to do with my hands that will keep me absorbed and my mind free of those dreaded anxiety thoughts.
