Hi Karen and Marie,
Thank you both for your replies. I value both of your words of encouragement and wisdom.
Karen, I know all too well the "lint roller test". Let me explain - I have lint rollers in every room of my home and even my car. I feel I even need one in my purse but it won't fit in my current purse. I even purchased a sticky floor lint roller that people with pets use. I don't have a pet. I became obsessed with using it. Did I always have the type of debris on my floor that this roller picks up - I don't know, maybe I did.
As I have said before my outside environment has a lot of pine and oak trees. I have had major crying spells over what I pick up too. So let's just say, thank you for the good advice to use my common sense and give myself a good talking to as well as to keep things in perspective.
I find it's easy to say but so very hard to do. I pray that God gives me the strength to overcome this.
(My son thinks I will need therapy to get over this obsessiveness and worry - I surely hope not.)
Marie, I know it is a waste of time to worry. Worry doesn't change things. I try to pray, instead of worry. I pray for healing, peace, hope and calmness for me as well as all of you.
I know I am getting better, but sometimes my emotions get the best of me. I try to change my outlook and negative feelings by talking to someone or getting out of the house even if it is only for a walk in the park.
You are both big inspirations to me as well as a source of information, comfort and consolation. We will all be winners and cross that finish line sooner than later.
God Bless you both.
Love,
Donna
