i am starting to reconsider myself. i keep finding myself being worried about silly things or just feeling overwhelmed and stressed out. this has caused me to wonder...have i always been a worry wart? and if so, does that mean i have been in complete denial about being worried? and if that is true, does that mean that the happy-go-lucky view i have had of myself for all this time is completely off base and every personality profile i have ever done is completely wrong?
just writing this helps me see that this is completely ludicrous and that maybe the problem is that people that value fun and freedom become worried and stressed when they find themselves in a life of schedules and responsibility.
only three months til summer and i can go back to my less structured and more spontaneous lifestyle.

No resposibility nor schedule is worth my losing my fun or freedom. If I can't incorporate my true self into a structured environment then it's not the environment for me.
I think we tend to worry when we have unknowingly lost some focus on the important stuff, because everything we say is important really isn't when looked at up close.
Blessings.
good point. i think i've been losing sight of some of the important stuff. during the eighteen months i worked on my master's degree things were totally out of balance.
it's taking a while to find the old stride. i sure appreciate your caring advice!
These times we're living in, too, MUST be getting to us all! Right? EVERY single minute, it seems, there's bad news coming down the pike.
You got used to the master's degree work; its demands always in the back of your mind. Maybe you worried about that for so long that its being over now is stress in and of itself in some odd way!? That's a kind of 'lost focus'? (well, I'm no shrink, as I think just became all too obvious! But it felt right, so I wrote it!)
Praise God you HAVE a summer without structure because of your job, right!? Good luck, honey! I.H.S. is right...don't lose track of the 'important stuff'! xxx
Z - your wisdom sounds better than a lot of things i've heard! i have already been feeling a lot better since i have got the feelings out and started thinking about it. i am now on a hunt for the important stuff! thanks for the advice!
Glad to hear that...
YOu have the important stuff in your house...You know that :0)
