 © The Dunce Lion ~ Undine DeFilippo 2017 It must be possible for us humans, no matter our age or where our lot is cast, to keep a spirit that is light hearted and worry free. We mustn't become escapists, or become indifferent to the struggles and sufferings of mankind, nor develop careless unconcern with society's problems. We should govern our minds . . . govern the Dunce Lion who is a WORRIER . . . NOT the WARRIOR he claims to be. WORRY is a spasmodic and irrational thought, much like a snowstorm . . .  © Hope That's My Car ~ Undine DeFilippo 2017 WORRY can get us confused and cause us to LOSE OUR WAY  © IT IS ! THANK GOD ! ~ Undine DeFilippo 2017 Deliberately entertaining an idea of FAITH breaks the negative cycle. Take WORRY apart, piece by piece, { in this case, shovelful by shovelful } with COOL, COLLECTIVE RATIONAL THOUGHT . . . and, remarkably, 94 Percent of WORRY NEVER HAPPENS !  © Toyota Rav4 ~ Undine DeFilippo 2017 " Better NEVER trouble trouble
Until trouble troubles you, For you're sure to make your trouble DOUBLE TROUBLE when you do. And your trouble, like a bubble, That you're troubling about, May be NOTHING but a cipher With the rim rubbed out. " Dr. David Keppel
