“Worry is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to do, but it won’t get you anywhere!” -Unknown
How many of us can honestly say we are worry free and not preoccupied with the “what ifs” and the worst-case scenarios of life? Or how many of us, who say we live in a worry-free zone are really worry warts who dignify worry by calling it something else like “concern”?
“Worry is like a rocking chair, it will give you something to
do, but it won’t get you anywhere!”

On my first birthday, I was gifted a rocking chair which grew
in age as I grew in age. This rocking chair provided many hours of soothing
comfort as my little heart often was an anxious heart. Who knows what could
trouble a tiny heart, but in those times of anxiety, I would hop on the chair
and rock away the minutes, and consequently, my worries. The rocking activity
was a calming balm to my young heart and mind!
