From the book "There's No Place Like Hope":
"I've dealt with the my anxiety by choosing to live my life
somewhat like a picnic on a cloudy day. I've gone ahead and planned the picnic, made the food, packed the car, gone to a great location, and am having a blast - even though the weatherman still says there's a chance of showers. I have two choices: I can either let the prediction of rain ruin everything as much as the rain itself would (and this still wouldn't prevent
the rain from falling if it is going to). Or I can throw some rain gear in the
car just in case - in the trunk, out of sight - and enjoy every minuteof
sunshine that I have. It may not rain at all or, if it does, it may
just be a sprinkle - but I've made up my mind that the mere "possibility"
of rain will not rob me of even one second of joy.
So far, I have enjoyed many storm-free years. Enjoy the sunshine.
If the rain falls, deal with it then, but in the meantime have some wonderful picnics!"
