Also, as I like to remark, "This, too, shall pass!" We seem to live our life in vignettes...in a series of small crises. Actually, our society seems to limp along like that, too. We lurch from one crisis to another. I used to say, when counselling chronic worriers, "What were you worried about this time last year?" They generally couldn't remember.
