We’ve been puttering around the Upper Peninsula of Michigan for a few days now. Maybe a week?
What a wonderful place, so natural and gorgeous. The Great Lakes are amazing – I’ve now, on this trip, seen all five of them!! And been to museums, nature preserves, cafes with the best homemade pie in the world, and I’ve seen chipmunks, deer, gophers, rabbits and untold birds. Wildflowers are rampant!!
I had my first bit of “Anxiety” today – I wrote about it in a comment on Jane’s post. Luckily I didn’t get too far down that dead-end road!!
We have another four days in Michigan then we’ll turn south. Heading for home.
I’m going to continue staying in the present moment because it just FEELS GOOD!

Hi Cindy- I found your blog about anxitey and I want you to know that you are not alone. I have suffered with it for many many years and I have good days and bad.
What gets me through my days is prayer and a stong belief in my faith in GOD. Try to stay in the good place you are in today by not letting any bad or negative thought take hold of you. Instead you take that thought captive like the bible says and bring it to Christ. I would get a thought in my head and run with it until it snowballed into me calling 911 because my panic would get so bad. I was online today because I was having heart flutters and my thoughts tried to get away from me but I am trying me best to not let them. Writing to you gets my mind off of it and knowing that I may be helping you makes me feel better. I hope you have a blessed day and I will pray for you while you are in Michigan. Dont loose hope, you are never alone in this. God Bless and take care. Your friend, Maria

Hi Maria – thanks for your support and understanding. It’s always helpful to remember we are not the only ones suffering from this stuff when it happens!!
My days have been really good – so I will wish the same for you!

That is one of the greatest anti-anxiety solvers… pie. My aunt’s pecan pie just wipes all my worries away. I’m sure we all have something like that.

Hi Doug – I think you’re right! And the best thing we can do is find that “pie” and keep going back for more! š
