In my family, I tend to be the more ” take each day as it comes ” one. I think worry's a complete waste of time and while I do get worried of course like everyone else, I try not to dwell on it. I'm more of a “we'll cross that bridge when we come to it” type person. Worrying isn't going to stop something happening and if it doesn't, you wasted a lot of energy on nothing.If it does, then you'll handle it best you can at the time.

My husband on the other hand is the opposite - he worries all the time. If he doesn't have something to worry about, he worries about what he's forgetting. I'm just glad we don't both worry like he does. As it is I can at least try brighten him up and help him see things in a more positive light. Is your house the same or are neither or both of you worriers?

Nazreen, I had to chuckle at you saying you think he's “too lax”. If you asked my husband to describe me, he'd probably say the same thing LOL.

Seriously, you have even more reason to try and relax than most. Please do listen to your husband. I know it's so much harder for us all the way the world is shaping up right now but honestly, what good does it do? I see my husband getting more and more stressed to the point it affects his health at times and I need to try get him to take more time to chill out when it does.

We do what we can with the days we're given. There's only 24 hours in the day and you can only do what you can within that time to the best of your ability. I read somewhere that it's good to make a list of your worries and divide it under two headings - things you can control and things you can't.

The ones you can control you do something about, and the ones you can't, you just take the decision to let them go because worrying isn't going to change a thing apart from elevating your stress levels. Focus on the first group and by taking even a small step to reduce or even eradicate those worries, you'll feel more in control.

It's funny how we each are the opposites to our partners in that respect, don't you think?

I'm wondering if we instinctively choose someone for their differences from us. Is that where the attraction lies, when we see something in them we don't see in ourselves? The lure of the unfamiliar perhaps? Maybe it's because they complement us…just musing.

Feel free to muse along with me.

Hmmm….my hubby and I agree on things but not all the time. Sometimes, he said I'm narrow minded. So I'm trying to be more open about things. Also, I'm the chatty one unlike him. I remember our first date. I did most of the talking that when I ask him about it now, he said I talked too much. But he didn't want to let me know then because he's attracted to me.
