For some reason, getting into bed is

the time my mind turns to all of the things I haven't had time to think

about during the day - I think it's just another one of those

"Mother/Grandmother" things!!

And this coming from someone who told me that

*I* "borrow worry"!! LOL! Do you remember telling me that in an email,

Clara?? It is soooo true and everytime I start taking on someone

else's worries, I 'hear' you saying that to me. I'm trying really

hard not to be such a worrier. From one worrier to another, here are a

few of my favorite "worry" quotes:
