So, What are You Afraid of?

Have you ever had one of those days when everything goes wrong?
You know, the kind of day when your toast is burnt; and on top of that you are out of butter and somebody finished off the OJ. So, you toss the toast, head for work, and stop for a breakfast sandwich - and your credit card won’t work – and you used the last of the free-floating change in the car yesterday to get a soda.

What are the odds?

It does happen, but it’s not going to end you. It might make you a little warry –but, you probably won’t be taking any ‘death defying’ chances today, as the odds are obviously not in your favor.

However, for many of those things we fear, have nightmares about, and might worry might take us out, the actual likelihood is actually quite low.
