Don't Worry Be Happy
The first step in to not worrying and being happy is to have no worries. I know that is easier said than done. It is like someone once told me “Why borrow worry?” I have also heard it said that worry will still your joy. Here are a few ideas of how to keep your worrying in check so it does not steal all your joy: therefor, allowing you to be happy. One suggestion I have is to schedule a certain amount of time for worrying. Let us say 10 min a day. I found this helpful because sometimes worrying can easily become an obsessive behavior for some. Also, you can analyze your worries for validity to determine how likely they are to come true. This can be helpful to determine how much if any time needs to be devoted to worrying. You can also brainstorm possible solutions to your worries. Sometimes there are no solutions, and that is okay, that is when you need to learn to let it go and realize sometimes somethings are beyond our control. When we learn to “let go” it can be a very liberating experience. Vengeance is mine saith the Lord. One of the things I have learned with age is to roll with the flow.

Double-Entry bookkeeping was first known about the end of the 15th century (yes, it is over 500 years old) and was believed to have been used by Venetian merchants.

What I Have Learned in 2020
The first thing I have learned in 2020 is that I am not allowed to cry. I used to cry at the drop of a hat when I was a kid. As an adult it takes a lot to get me to cry. My sister Malissa is the same way. I lost my grandmother on September 30, 2020. I was able to spend some quality time with her before her passing. I had to cry on my brother-in-law’s shoulder since my husband cannot stand to see me cry. I was so grateful to be able to see my grandmother… my husband lost his grandmother May 30, 2020 and was unable to visit her before she passed. I was almost not allowed to see my grandmother before she passed because my husband was not allowed to see his.
