I worry about M&M being on this window ledge, because I am a helicopter cat-mom, and I am afraid that they will jump. So they can't be on the ledges unless I'm right next to them.
My sister gave me this years ago during a rough patch and I still love it. Probably one of my most treasured items. It makes for an apt macro study.
Wishes and Worries tells the story of Maggie and her struggle to understand her father's problem with alcohol.
In this new book, Maggie wishes that her ninth birthday party will be better than her eighth. What a mess that was! Her father had been drinking and totally embarrassed her in front of her friends. Over the year, Maggie begins to get answers to some of her questions as she talks to her teacher, her school counsellor and her parents about her father's problem with alcohol and how it affects everyone in the family. She learns that she is not responsible for her father's drinking, that it's OK to reach out for help, and that there are people in her life that she can trust and talk to about her feelings.
Many of us often worry about life. We want a safe place, security and if possible guarantee about almost everything.
Jesus gives us the His teachings below, c.f : Matthew 6.

25 I tell you not to worry about your life. Don’t worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn’t life more than food or clothing? 26 Look at the birds in the sky! They don’t plant or harvest. They don’t even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren’t you worth more than birds?
27 Can worry make you live longer?[e] 28 Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don’t work hard to make their clothes. 29 But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth[f] wasn’t as well clothed as one of them. 30 God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. He will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith?
31 Don’t worry and ask yourselves, “Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?” 32 Only people who don’t know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these. 33 But more than anything else, put God’s work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.
We took the cheaper ferry to the Orkneys, which is not roll-on/roll-off. Caravans have to be reversed on, and my mother isn't confident enough at reversing to do it. So someone from the ferry company took over, while she stood and watched nervously...
Taken for Our Daily Challenge (Topic: Starts with 'W')
In the process of editing this photo, I have stared at my own face FAR too much. I don't even know what to think of this anymore.
I apologize that this is a day late. (I took this photo yesterday, but no time to edit/upload)
This weekend is going to be SO crazy and busy! But it shall be good :) Happy Friday!!
PS- I wasn't actually worried, I was just trying really hard to put emotion and expression in to the image ;)
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you. Psalm 55:22
A man worried constantly about everything. Then one day his friends heard him whistling happily and looking noticeably relaxed. “What happened?” they asked him in astonishment.
He said, “I’m paying a man to do my worrying for me.”
“How much do you pay him?” they asked.
“Two thousand dollars a week,” he replied.
“Wow! How can you afford that?”
“I can’t,” he said, “but that’s his worry.”
While this humorous way to handle stress doesn’t work in real life, as God’s children we can turn our worries over to Someone who has everything perfectly under control even—especially—when we feel it is not.
The prophet Isaiah reminds us that God brings out the stars and calls them all by name (40:25-26). Because of “his great power and mighty strength” not one of them is missing (v. 26). And just as God knows the stars by name, He knows us individually and personally. We are each under His watchful care (v. 27).
If we are inclined to worry, we can turn that worry over to the Lord. He is never too weary or too tired to pay attention to us. He has all wisdom and all power, and He loves to use it on our behalf. The Holy One who directs the stars has His loving arms around us.
Lord, You know there are times when I get really scared. And I forget that You have promised that You will never leave me to face difficulty or loss alone. Help me to trust.
Worry ends where faith begins.
At World Market & found these little dolls that come in a tiny box. They're Guatemalan Worry People and you tell them your worries, put them under your pillow at night and when you wake up they would have taken your worries away...at least that's what the paper inside the box said.
A small page seemed in order today, so thought a quote would be appropriate content. I came across a variant of this quote yesterday, and I liked it, so here it is.

Framed. Aphorism print - this saying is true, but very hard to believe.

more cases of Cholera, which has been moving from nearby PNG/Bougainville, have been reported in Choiseul and Western Provinces of Solomon Islands.
Even though it is an old and simple song, whenever I hear it passing by on my iPod while biking through the rain and greyness of a autumn, somehow I feel more happy.
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
This is my message to you
Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
Bob Marley - Three Little Birds
