Worrying is bad for you. So don't do it.

There is a lot of worrying going on today. I heard about it on the radio, TV, at the gym and now here at work. It’s only 7:30 and I have already heard about voting problems, possible riots, fights and angry voters. The streets are full of cars with people trying to beat the rush to vote. Too late people, there are already long lines at the voting stations. This morning I even heard one person say they were still undecided and they were thinking about not voting because they couldn't make up their mind. I told them I had decided so vote my way.

For some reason I am not worried this morning. I woke up in another one of my good moods. I had a good workout at the gym. Took a nice long hot shower and got to work a little early. My coffee was outstanding and I brought along a blueberry muffin to go with it. I was the first one here and I began singing this song:

Don’t worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: don’t worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin,
Smiled with the risin sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Don’t worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin: don’t worry about a thing,
cause every little thing gonna be all right!

It got stuck in my head and after the morning meeting, I continued to sing it. Don't you hate when songs get stuck in your head? Now the guy next to me in the office is singing it.

This morning, I was up to Matthew 6 in my daily reading. Check out verses 25 through 27. I think there is a message in here for me. Is this a coincidence or what?

Matthew 6;
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?" 26 "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" 27 "Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"

And that isn't just anyone talking either.

Have a wonderful day and please Vote. I will be voting after work. So don't worry......pray.

I hope it is ok to bring along some snacks.

******UPDATE*****

I voted. It only took me 50 minutes and it was so easy because I did my homework and knew what/who I was voting for before I got in line. Some others weren't quite so prepared. A man was there who for some reason had to do a write in ballot. One of the poll workers was filling out the paperwork for him because he couldn't read or write. This is the conversation I overheard.

Ok sir the paperwork is ready.
I just want to vote for Bamma.
You mean Obama?
Yea that's the one, and nothing else.
You don't want to cast any other votes?
No I just want to vote for Obama and homeboy.
Well I know who Obama is but who is homeboy?
You know that other person.
What do you mean?
That person that is with him.
Do you mean the Vice President?
Yea I guess so. I just want to vote for Bamma.
Well they are on the same ticket.
Ok that's good. I guess.


So she filled out his ticket for Obama. I dare say he couldn't pick Obama out of a lineup. So sad it has come to this.

Oh well, have a great night.
