RE: Memoir Monday week 9 What Do You Worry About?

Hello @myjob. What an awesome and thought-provoking story you share of your family and how you worry about some of them. This is an issue that I'm familiar with. Worrying about children is natural for a parent. But when they are grown, there is little you can do except pray for them that all will be well. Some will listen; others will not. Worrying will only make you ill in your physical body and your mental sphere.
I love how you always have hope and belief in God that all will work itself out. I hope one day your spouse will realize the same. I was happy to hear your sales picked up, and you were able to sell your areca palms.
Thanks for sharing. Take care.

Thank you @justclickindiva,
When you become a mother, it is for life and I know they have to make their own choices but still, the mother in me worries about them. Like I said in my post, I used to worry myself sick but one day I looked back at all the hard times and thought how did I ever get through this? So one day it hit me, things will work out, they always have and always will, we get through them and move on to the next crisis, I like to say, "This too, shall pass." and it does.
Yes, you are parents for life and naturally will worry some. I still do worry a bit about my daughters some times when they're contemplating a new unknown venture. But the situations always seem to work themselves out. Like I told my husband as you did yours, it may not be the way we would have done it...but it got done on their terms.
And if they need help, we are here to assist in whatever manner that is sensible. And if they are wrong in their approach, we'll tell them that too.
Thanks for the engagement.
