With one of my dearest friends, I was sharing how far-flung I was allowing my at-times "What-If?"/"Catastrophizing" Thinking to go -- he heard me in a caring, loving way and then he said, "Stop it"
Though they don't always work for me, this time those two words blew me into proportion. :)
Which time? I've expected him to show up for 12 going on 13 years now. Even though through the woman's prayer she said I'd be married, she didn't say when. It might be when I'm 99 and have one whole year full of adventure before I get to pass on to my next life. Which I might add, I am so looking forward to.
