A few people see powerlessness as freedom and are comforted by it. My thoughts are the exact opposite, I feel nervous and sometimes frightened by the things in life I have no control. But you are right, we are all in this powerlessness thing together, and we all must help each other out.<br /><br /><a href="http://marzosmile.blogspot.com/2016/06/how-corning-family-dentistry-helps-you.html" rel="nofollow">Tyler Williford @ Marzo Smile</a>Tyler Willifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00040694496201032973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-91674974019032464822016-02-21T16:21:33.001-08:002016-02-21T16:21:33.001-08:00I love seeing how energized you are by your differ...I love seeing how energized you are by your different kinds of interaction with other people.

I have been golfing 2 or 3 times a week, playing cards with a group of neighbor ladies, eating out with friends and finding a little time to write. I did an interview with a lady that has a very unique way of "snowbirding" year around with her husband. I will write about that soon. But I still read your blog post and wonder about you. Be well and enjoy your life. It always sound so interesting.<br /><br />We are going home for my daughter's retirement party soon but we will be back.<br /><br />Much love,<br /><br />Baqrbarab+ (Retire In Style Blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05114209481329773753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356815487392618550.post-65967414258827252502016-02-15T19:18:38.146-08:002016-02-15T19:18:38.146-08:00It's easy to say we shouldn't stress over ...It's easy to say we shouldn't stress over things over which we have no control, but it is the very nature of that lack of control that causes stress. When we have control, we use it. We act. Not being able to act is stressful.

I tend to live by the Serenity prayer. "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

I worry about the state of the world, of my country, politics, and on and on. Doesn't do me any good at all. I'll try hard to just let it be and move on.
