Things I Wonder About . . .

What percentage of the things that we worry about individually actually happen?  It can't be more than 10%.  It's probably less than 5%.  I'm willing to lay odds that it's a fraction of 1%.  Think about it: for every 100 things that I worry about at least 90 never happen.  Those are brutal odds.  I'd never do anything if there was an almost certain probability that I would fail.

It's remarkable that I keep right on worrying.  You'd think I'd give it up after all of this time.
