and there.will the surgery go well?will i feel relief from the discomfort i have been experiencing in that shoulder?how will i fit physical therapy into my weekly schedule?have i prepared my students

home from school for thanksgiving break?the fact is,everything will get done.there are ways to squeeze in work and appointments.what is important is the attitude you have throughout.worry and anxiety can feel uncomfortable.such emotions can trouble us,and as the above saying implies,will keep us stuck in place.if we recognize that these emotions are factoring into a current situation,there is always the opportunity to redirect the energy that goes into worry and anxiety towards faith and action.faith that you can handle the issue or task at hand and taking action with that faith supporting you as you face challenges.fleeing away from worry and anxiety is not easy,nor is it without its own strains,but it is possible.how satisfying it feels to complete something you were worried and anxious about.i will get through this task and healing with faith and action,and with the support and understanding of my family.but,perhaps i should do what a dear friend just told me she did,which was to find a copy of my grandfather norman vincent peales landmark book,the power of positive thinking,and reread it.this will be part of my action plan,an action plan that will support my faith and
