Perhaps an attempt to plant fewer seeds, or to water the soil less where the seeds have already fallen?<br /><br />Lin, I don't see you as a complainer at all. Everyone is entitled to express a bit of disgruntlement, given the condition of the world in which we live.<br /><br />Vee, I have not considered that particular correlation. Share your thoughts on that with me sometime.<br /><br />Grace, perhaps your short-term worries are less pressing because you can do something about your present.

I worry about everything but usually what I worry about are things in the far future (not so far now that I am further into my future), every day things - not so much. But I gotta say relentlessly cheerful, chipper, perky people are possibly the most annoying people on the planet...but there is hope for them: http://youtu.be/jd4tugPM83cAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-14163620768874343662013-02-18T08:23:44.693-05:002013-02-18T08:23:44.693-05:00Hope the crown is back on by now.

Do I really complain that much??? Here I thought I was pretty bubbly most of the time. hmmmmm.

As I've ...Your Joycean expedition was coherent. As I've established on my blog I am a worrier. I think we're born with a natural level of worry, which we then can cultivate or seek to minimize. I think I've cultivated mine, so it's time to uncultivate it. (I'm not satisfied with "uncultivate" but am unable to come up with something better.)<br /><br />And I'm so glad that except for a few fillings left over from my late teens my teeth are unfettered by dental devices.Jim Greyhttp://blog.jimgrey.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3535543883262225735.post-35521126315833318062013-02-18T06:38:59.121-05:002013-02-18T06:38:59.121-05:00This is a great piece and a wonderful reminder abo...This is a great piece and a wonderful reminder about life.
