Do I waste my time and energy wrestling with situations that aren't actually worth a second thought?
Like Don Quixote, the bemused hero of Spanish literature, do I imagine windmills as menacing giants, battling them until I am ready to drop from exhaustion?
Today, I'll not allow my imagination to build small troubles into big ones, I'll try to see each situation clearly, giving it only the value and attention it deserves.
Today I pray:
God, keep my perspective sane. Help me to avoid aggrandizing petty problems, tting too much significance to casual conversations, making a Vesuvius out of an anthill. Keep my fears from swelling out fo scale, like shadows on a wall. Restore my values, which became distorted during the days of my anxiety suffering.
Today I will remember:
Sanity is perspective.
