These pups were going to the dog park, but presumably they thought they were going to the vet? Sometimes we do stress ourselves unnecessarily.

You Can’t Believe Everything You Think

I have been like that with appts. with dermatologist. I have gotten pretty much till I can just push it to the back of my mind, and know if there is more cancer we we will just deal with it.
Life can be scary, for good reason. That’s why I like Mary Oliver’s idea of fighting back with joy. It doesn’t sugarcoat things.
ohmygosh… that picture. I just want to HUG them. xoxoxo
Yes. 🙂
definitely – especially last week when I tried to avoid the actual doctor, based on what the nurse had said 3 weeks before at the monthly recheck BP test. Turned out “nurse was completely wrong” … all is as good as it will be, based on what has been graphed before, and how my right lower leg is looking/working…and best thing in the doctor assessment “do not need to have BP checked again until I return to see her in 3 months…” (unless of course something else crops up)
I’m so glad about that!
I love that photo! If we could only know what our dogs think….
I love it too. That’s such a precious hug.
Aww, that’s so sweet. Not that they were stressed but that they were hugging each other like that.
I know, I feel the same way.
Awww, what a sweet photo!!! After all the risks the surgeon had enumerated connected to Mom’s surgery, she was a nervous wreck before they knocked her out. So far, she is defeating most of those risks.

I so glad all of her hard work is paying off. I’m so sorry about what you all are going through.
that picture got an awwwwwwww and melted my heart into a puddle of love. so sweet… I am glad we can’t always believe what we think, because my thinker is good at going off the rails in the blink of an eye
I thinks that’s true of most of us. It takes commitment and practice to keep us from torturing ourselves.
Wow,this was meant for me to see right now.
I’m currently having a bit of a panic attack and I’m trying to calm down.
Breathing in slowly and deeply.
Just really worried about some stuff but I’m sure it will all be fine.
Over-thinking isn’t good.
It’s hard to stop a habit, what works best is to do something else that keeps us from doing it. I often work puzzles that are the right challenge to occupy my mind while me body calms down. And sometimes just gathering relevant information helps, especially if it’s a health issue or something that requires decision making. Good luck!
