Worry and Bubble Gum

“Do not distress yourself with imaginings.”  Desiderata – Max Ehrmann

Of all the advice Ehrmann provides in the Desiderata, this is perhaps the one that gives me the most difficulty.  There is not the wiggle room in Baz Luhrmann’s Sunscreen

“Don’t worry about the future; or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.”

I chew a lot of gum.
