On the way to the show, we drove by a church that always displays some kind of quotation, saying, or scripture passage on the billboard sign in front of the church's property.
The quote tonight was particularly corny, but I really appreciated its message:
"Worry is a darkroom where negative thoughts develop."
My hero Samuel Johnson said pretty much the same thing in 1750:
"The misfortunes that arise from the concurrence of unhappy incidents should never be suffered to disturb us before they happen; because if the breast be once laid open to the dread of mere possibilities of misery, life must be given a prey to dismal solicitude, and quite must be lost forever."
