“As if there wasn’t enough to worry about already.” It seems that every day there is something new to worry about. And some big ones have come along in recent days. When the really big new worries hit, its important to remember that to some extent at least, worries are substitutes. Big worries imply that small worries matter less and so they offer the small consolation of dispensing with those. And while the consolation is small, we should take what we can get when the worries are big.
So think through all of the little worries that have been hanging around enjoy the feeling of letting them go.

Very true. I now no longer need to worry about how I should spend my retirement.
