New Round of Stubborn Anxiety
Since, I don't know when, I've run into a good dose (2-3 weeks) of anxiety that hasn't bowed to good reason. Usually I don't have to be all that discipline. Guess this time I'll have to work harder.
Made an appointment with CBH to talk. Talking is good medicine for me.
Yesterday I dug-up "Anxiety" excerpt from "overcoming Anxiety and Fear" by Norman Vincent Peale. Just realized/remembered that that was one author that Jim had previously recommended/assigned Peale. I'll be going for that once I confirm actual title.
Seems like a good first trip to Chelsea's new library.
I want to try the exercise "listing concerns
Then how much sense is there to this anxiousness
Got get back to work! To be continued...

WOW!!!
HERE'S INSPIRATION:
Pausch often emphasized the need to have fun.
"I mean I don't know how to not have fun. I'm dying and I'm having fun. And I'm going to keep having fun every day I have left. Because there's no other way to play it," he said in his Carnegie Mellon lecture. "You just have to decide if you're a Tigger or an Eeyore. I think I'm clear where I stand on the great Tigger/Eeyore debate. Never lose the childlike wonder. It's just too important. It's what drives us."
Randy Pausch, a Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist whose "last lecture" about facing terminal cancer became an Internet sensation and a best-selling book, has died. He was 47.
