THOUGHT FOR THE DAY - FROM IT'S MARGARET

You know --anxiety is an idol... as is bitterness... as is self-destruction....

Oh so true and right.

STORY OF THE DAY

You have to not care either way about it,
she told me, & when you wake up in the
middle of the night with anxiety attacks,
it's best to lie & say it's because you
thought you heard something
downstairs

THE WORD FROM CARTOONIST ROZ CHAST

"Anxiety has just always been a part of my life," Chast says. "I cannot even imagine what a life without it would be. You make that decision to get out of bed in the morning, and you know that before you get back into bed at night, you're just going to have all kinds of things you're going to have to deal with. You just hope that it's not so crippling that you don't get out of bed."

For years now, I've enjoyed Chast's cartoons in The New Yorker. I'd love to post a cartoon, but all are under copyright. One of my favorites is the "Poet in Hiding" weatherman.
