The reason people find it so hard to be happy is that they always see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future less resolved than it will be. ~ Marcel Pagnol

"What If....?"

I realized this week that I live my life with too many "What If's". 
Earlier this week my husband was complaining about a pain in his side.  Now, this did alarm me mainly because he never complains and is never sick.  He even set a doctor's appointment, so I knew then that he must be serious.  I immediately went into my "What If's".
By the end of the day, I had him in emergency surgery with a life-long ailment ( in my own mind, of course).  I worked myself up to the point that I could not function for the rest of the day.  Nonetheless, the doctors did what they do best, ran all the necessary test, and he is fine- no ailments. 
I made a vow to myself that I would work really really hard at eliminating all the "What If's" in my life.  I know this is cliche, but "Life is too short".  NO, IT REALLY IS!  I mean, look at me-I'm about to be 30 in 4 months.  I don't have time for "What If's".  That is all......
