21. To feel more in control
Mon Sep 4, 2023, 12:59 PM
Sep 2023

Change the passwords to all of your accounts every 3 months or so. Be sure to monitor activity and balances as often as you can without feeling overwhelmed.

None of us are free of worry. If you get stuck on it, use any tricks to get away from it for awhile. I like writing a word and making as many words as I can from the letters in the word, not sure if that is called anagram or something else. I make lists in my head, such as a-z boys' names, a-z girls' names, dog breeds, anything that might take a little thought but is a lifting subject. I also think of books I've read or movies I've seen and think of actors that I would cast in the roles. I like ancient history and geology. It is calming because it's over. I will never stop learning about antiques and collectibles, another subject that you can immerse yourself in and get lost in the details. There are many different shapes of drinking glasses, endless patterns of flatware, a surprising amount of pressed and pattern glass patterns. I also putter. I like to repair things, even if they will have no better value in 1 piece than in parts

You'll be all right.
