We worry about what could hap- pen in the future based on anxieties in the present. Fear, in and of itself, is a natural component of our genetics. Fear is what kept the caveman in the cave and away from the saber toothed tiger. Fear is the visceral knowing that you should not enter a dark alley in an unfamiliar location alone. Worry, on the other hand is fear taken to the extreme. If that same caveman never ven- tured outside the protective walls of his comfy rock shelter, he would never find the food he needed to keep him alive. Likewise if you worry away all of your potential, you, in essence will starve too. Nine of the ten things that we Car show The Cottonwood Hot Rods and Hogs Car show is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 11 in downtown Cottonwood.

The one in ten that does is an opportunity to learn and grow. Nonetheless, if you are a worrier, I am worried about you. I am a worrier by nature. Grow- ing up the way I did, I became a worrier at a tender age. Worry has been a trait that seemed to give me power and comfort. When I pon- dered all the woulda’s, coulda’s and what if’s of a situation, I felt as though I could manage anxiety better. I felt that if I could imagine all the worst case scenarios, then I had a better chance of pro- hibiting the bad. I mean, if you worry about all the things that could go wrong and prevent them wouldn’t you come out ahead of the game? Reality is that worrying and creating images in your mind of poor out- comes helps foster the very thing you do not want. What you spend most of your time thinking about is generally what you bring about. Sort of like “If you can see it you can achieve it.” So just as you can envision landing the perfect job, you can equally envi- sion being passed over. Laying awake at night worrying over the odds of you getting the job will only increase your chances of los- ing the opportunity. Successful people have con- quered their inner worrier. They are worry warriors and they realize that all aspects of life contain a degree of potential for failure or worse. The truth is that sicknesses happen, Faydra Rector Life Coach spouses leave, jobs end and friendships fail. It is just part of the ying/yang of life. What you do with a sit- uation is what matters. Make plans for your life and take action. If a road- block comes, face it. The one in ten worry that man- ifests itself has an oppor- tunity attached to it. Most people who have survived their ‘worry’ will tell you that wrapped up in that tragedy was a lesson or an opportunity they never anticipated. We may never be able to stop the fears in life. We may never be able to stop bad things from happening, but we can stop ourselves from letting the fear of the uncertain rob us of our joy.

The loss in contents cannot at this time be estimat- ed. The fire started at about 1 o'clock in the kitchen of the Thompson hotel. The blaze communicated quickly to the post office north. The flames wiped out every building in the block, the post office and hotel being reduced to ashes in short order. The flames also wiped out the meat market and store. – Daily News, Aug. 11, 1920 us for Join Liberty QUARTET FELLOWSHIP Corner of Samson & Ventura in Gerber AUG. 13TH , 7 PM For more info call Robert Myers (530) 824-0820 GERBER BIBLE Love offering will be taken.

Recently, the girls rep- resented the Tehama County 4-H All Star Team at the 4-H State Leadership Conference at UC Davis and now they’re looking for help. Each year the Tehama County 4-H All Star Team constructs a feature booth at the Tehama Dis- trict Fair and this year’s theme celebrates the 90th anniversary of the Tehama District Fair. To honor the theme, the All Star Team has chosen to create a booth celebrating the history of 4-H at the fair. In addition to the newspaper stories saved in the 4-H scrap books they would like to show- case pictures and stories from people in Tehama County about their 4-H experiences at the fair over the years. The goal is to create a display where people walk through, read, smile, and say, “I haven’t thought about that for years!” In order to create the best booth they can, Foss and Hubbard need your stories and pictures. It is best if you can scan the pictures and get copies to the girls but 4-H can scan and return them to you. In addition to pictures, Foss and Hubbard are looking for personal sto- ries and memories about participating in 4-H activ- ities at the fair. Please include names and dates in the stories, and send to Spring Severson. They can be sent to: Spring Severson, 1754 Walnut St., Red Bluff, 96080, by Email: slsever- son@ucdavis.edu or by calling 527-3101. COMMUNITY CLIPS and food will be available.
