Things Not to Worry About

Don’t worry about having enough friends on Facebook
Don’t worry about how much chocolate is too much
Don’t worry about wrinkles
Don’t worry about the relationship between a short haircut and getting a date
Don’t worry about being single

Wendy, the timing of this post couldn’t have been better. Thank you, this post was a tremendous help.
Don’t worry about that extra serving of comfort food. (You’ll burn it off with all the other worrying you do).
I found F. Scott Fitzgerald’s letter so beautiful and reassuring. It’s from 1933, and utterly timeless.
Don’t worry about worrying too much, as long as you don’t do it ALL the time. It’s normal. We all do it because we’re all human.
So true. Don’t let worrying about worrying become another thing to worry about.
