Worrying--my grandmother used to tell us that every thought was a little bitty prayer, and that included worrying. She'd end by saying, Don't borrow trouble. I don't think she read any of the "new thought" books of her day, or that she was quoting any LOA material: that was just her way of meeting her challenges, which included the Great Depression (hey, Americans, compared to that one, we ain't seen nuthin yet) and WWII.

Actually, both grandmothers demonstrated the LOA very dramatically. The one I just mentioned demonstrated it in very positive terms. My other grandmother imagined every illness known to man, and some that weren't--and successfully manifested most of them. Yet she was also strong, and survived most of it, albeit uncomfortably.

Back then, I wasn't really aware of the golden lessons I was being shown. I am now, though.
