I love "But what if it all works out?’" I have been a widow for four years and have taken overthinking to a new level. What I've found is that for all my worry - it -whatever it is - does work out. So that seems like a powerful affirmation.

It's a good one isn't it - What if it all works out. I've just got to remember it!

I relate so much to your story, Lee, even though my life path has been so different to yours. You’re channeling your overthinking talent beautifully! And I love the sound of your regular beach walks and daily philosophy. Thanks for reminding me of the good things - life can be very distracting. You’re an inspiration!

Wow! What a post! Inspirational. Did the timing of this come from your reflections on Elizabeth Strout’s ‘Tell Me Everything’?
