Hi pvctom,
Yes, the quake yesterday was scary. I was sleeping and when I heard it I thought it was thunder but it sounded different. And lasted longer. We don't have quakes very often in Pennsylvania. I remember the last one in 2011 when I was still working. We were in a meeting and we all looked at each other and stopped talking. It's a strange feeling when you have no control over something.
I used to worry about everything, in the whole world! Now I make a list of what I can and have to do. This helps me realize I have done things that I can control or help someone with.
I love animals and when I see a dead one on the side of the road it feels so terrible. It makes me feel so sad and I don't know what to do. So I started saying, "Bless your soul little animal." Then I have some peace, don't dwell on it and can move on, feeling a little bit better.
My point is that I try to do my best but it's hard to do if the weight of the whole world is on my shoulders.
