I am a worrier … always have been … always will be. I have accepted it and haven’t really tried to change it. I am also a list maker … always have been …. always will be. Those two things often go hand in hand. I worry about the things on my lists and I make lists of things that I need to worry about.
The events of the past week have thrown me so much that I haven’t made a list in the past seven days. Those lists just don’t seem that important right now. Things will get done. The kids will get fed. The bills will be paid. The shopping will be done.
I am in automatic mode right now and the things that I used to worry about, like what to have for dinner or trying to save money any way we can, are being pushed to the back burner. They need to get done, and they will be, but right now they just don’t seem that important. It’s a very strange feeling.
Continuing to pray for calm and clarity for you and your family.

I am praying for that too.
Sounds like survival mode. Prayers being sent your way.

Oh yes, it is survival mode …. just worrying about getting through today … and then going to worry about tomorrow tomorrow.
I was thinking the same thing as Lisa, you’re just trying to survive. Just get through this, everything else will still be there when you get to the other side….

We are still trying to get the daily things done, they just don’t seem that important right now.
The only list I make is the weekly shopping list as for worring well that is something I use to do a couple of years ago but it only lasted a short while and now I am back to not worring I just go with the flow……………..

It’s actually kind of funny how all of this current mess has taken away my ability to worry about every little thing.
Interesting how priorities shift. Keep the lights on and take care of you.

I have found a music channel on Dish Network that plays calming music 24 hours a day …. I have started listening to it at night. It seems to be helping.
I agree. Survival mode. It’s a gift to us that helps us deal with those overwhelming things. Like shock for the body.
Do what you can. Forgive yourself for what you need to let slide. Right now you are completely focused on something that matters. The little things will wait. And one day you will make lists again.

Oh yes … one day the things on those lists will matter again.
