Great post - thank you. As someone commented on my blog this week, it isn't "what is" but our interpretation of what is that's the problem.

I'm going to try this out with my hubby and see what changes it may spark.

The facts of my week: I started out the week with $1400 in back medical bills (that I'm paying off, slowly.) I spent $163 at the DMV to renew tags and put the title of my car in the right name. Something that I ate for dinner the other night made me sick for a couple of days. Yesterday, my car was booted for unpaid parking tickets and I had to pay $90 to get it unlocked. While sick, I went to the doctor to make sure nothing was seriously wrong, thus incurring another bill which will be arriving in the future. It is not, however, a fact that the DMV and the Streets department are unreasonable, money-grubbing idiots. Nor is it a fact that eating chicken soup is bad for me. It's not even a proven fact that it was the fresh, homemade chicken soup that made me sick. Nor does the world really have it in for me, and I don't actually have to crawl back into bed and pull the covers over my head. (Not that I could, I have a meeting to attend today, and that is another fact.) --Poppy I needed this just now.

When I start to worry I ask myself, "What do I know for sure?" and deal with only the facts. I am usually thinking or worrying about the what ifs instead of what is real. I know this is a little different than what you were writing about but it has helped me so much I wanted to share. I use just the facts to help me stop worrying and it has helped so much.
