Ages ago, while on tour of the west coast of Eire, in Connemara I bought a "worry stone" which is a smoothed elipse of marble which feels gooood.
The packaging has this message on it:
WHY WORRY
~~~~~~~~~
There are only two things to worry about:
either you are well or you are sick.
If you are well there is nothing to worry about,
but if you are sick there are two things to worry about:
either you will get well or you will die.
If you get well there is nothing to worry about,
but if you die there are two things to worry about:
either you go up or you go down,
If you go up there is nothing to worry about,
but if you go down you will be so busy shaking hands
with old friends you won't have time to worry.
