When things go crazy, as they often will, my goal is to be the anchored boat in a storm. The waves may buffet me about, but the anchor keeps me from being carried away. Does the anchor sometimes give way? Sure. I'm human. But when I feel like things around me are a bit out of control, I close my eyes and picture myself as that anchored boat - steady as I can be and as clear-thinking as I can manage. I feel the waves but don't let them carry me away.

At least, that's the goal.
