Anxiety - 1
Waking up anxious
Don't seem to know why
The sun is shining
The birds are singing
People are laughing
Oh wait! Are they laughing at me?
Richard Wlodarski (c) 2026
Anxiety is the anchor that sinks happiness, I think you captured the sentiment well Richard, and yes there's always the feeling your someone else's joke. A noose of mistakes hanging you everyday.
2) Thank you very much, Kevin for sending this one to your favourites!
Greatly appreciate your positive response and insightful observations, Kevin! My youngest brother and I have a lot of fun laughing at/with each other. Hanging around each other makes for a very entertaining comedy of errors!
Another interesting and wonderful series, Richard. The closure line says it all. Sometimes anxiety can occur without an obvious reason.
2) Rose Marie, your positive feedback is greatly assisting me in continuing with this challenging and entertaining double series. So greatly appreciated!
Thank you so very much, Rose Marie! The parallel series, Anti-Anxiety helps us look at some of the non-obvious reasons.
So very true, Rob! And when one can laugh at himself/herself, the medicinal laughter allows great healing to occur!
