Thanks for the comment @elaine54!

A lot of us westerners have too much spare time, too much time to think, too much time to worry. I always feel best when I have a lot of things on my todo-list. As long as those things are things you look forward to, my experience is that it's best to shade the side-vision (like race horses) and just go forward. But it's definitely hard sometimes! I struggle with it my self, but I'm getting better at it. Hopefully I'll be great at it before i die.
