Worry

Like a boa constrictor Coiling round its prey Cutting off the blood supply. Negative emotions slowly Squeeze out all life. Agony and anxiety Ultimately kills hearts. Life is extinct. Don't worry yourself to death.

You can only worry until you take your last breath, then your journey begins. Thanks for visiting my page. Blessings

I think peace comes with age because you learn worrying only adds to the problem. Nice write, Elizabeth:)

I wish my mother in law would realise this, she's old enough to know better!

I like your description here! In reality, there really is no point in worrying! Easier said than done though! Nicely done

Worrying certainly is a waste of time and effort. It's training yourself to be positive.

Worrying is an awful emotion Elizabeth, even at my age I still have to tell myself to stop worrying and just get on with life, well written, :)

I really try not to worry. I'm sure my mother in law will take herself to an early grave, she worries if she has nothing to worry about!
