has been flowing through my mind these past few weeks.I recently had shoulder surgery,and I am being challenged by new situations in myjob.Even though I know challenge is good,I have been worrying here and there.Will the surgery go well?Will I feel relief from the discomfort I have been experiencing in that shoulder?How will I fit physical therapy into my weekly schedule?Have I prepared my

daughter coming home from school for Thanksgiving break?The fact is,everything will get done.There are ways to squeeze in work and appointments.What is important is the attitude you have

action with that faith supporting you as you face challenges.Fleeing away from worry and anxiety is not easy,nor is it without its own strains,but it is possible.How satisfying it feels to complete something you were worried and anxious about.I will get through this task and healing with faith and action,and with the support and understanding of my family.But,perhaps I should do what a dear
