Excellent advice

I had occasion to talk with my ex. He expressed concern for how I'm doing, how I'm feeling.

Truth is, my churning stomach wakes me early every morning. I told him how worried I am about what's going to happen to me. How will I take care of myself? What if I can't work and continue to pay the bills? Will I lose my hair?

"Don't get too far ahead of yourself," he said.

Ironic, coming from the King of What-If, but sage advice nonetheless. I do have to keep reminding myself....
