Just A Thought ~ WHAT IF...?

"Sometimes, I pause and sadly think of all the things that might have been, of all the golden chances I let slip by, and which never returned again. It fills me with gloom when I ponder this, until I look at the other side: how I might have been completely engulfed by misfortune's surging tide."

~ G.J. Russell ~

Although it has only two letters, 'if' is a very big word, and the fulcrum of so many of our worries. We think, "If only I had done that," or "What if such-and-such a thing happens to me," instead of seeing what is. Many of the things we worry about and fear might happen to us never do, and in the meantime we have suffered, not content with the suffering of the present.
