Worrying never takes away tomorrows troubles... just takes away today’s peace

Yeah, I just heard the guy on the radio say this, and it's so true! I worry all the time about everything, and it makes no difference in the general outcome. Like today... we're getting quite a bit of snow! I went to bed last night worrying so much about how my car is going to handle this weather today. But I started thinking that all my worrying wasn't going to make the snow go away, or suddenly make my car better in the snow. It really makes no difference whatsoever. It will still snow, it will still be a challenge to drive in, all I can do is just be cautious about it. Worrying only gets me worked up and makes the day less enjoyable.

So right now, as I sit here and watch the snow pour down and turn everything outside a clear sheet of white... I'm not going to worry about it.
I will not grind my teeth in anxiety about whats to come when I leave here.
I'm not going to tense up thinking about how other people will handle the nasty roads.
All I am going to do is be productive, try to enjoy the weather however I can (which is very limited as I desperately miss yesterday's 50 degree warm sun!), and not waste unnecessary time on worrying about things totally out of my control.

I must add this: One nice thing about winter is not feeling guilty becoming a hermit. I will feel no remorse for not getting to spend enough time outside, but rather inside, studying, crafting, just enjoying quality quiet time with my family and friends. But... that's really the only plus side to anything snow related!!
