Waiting in the Quiet

Sometimes the most stressful times in life is when nothing particularly stressful is currently happening.  It is the worry and anticipation in the quiet of times.. waiting to see if the stressful time will come that can be stressful.  If the stress comes I tend to get into 'fix-it' mode, make '3 choices' list with pros and cons, and make a decision on what to do.  But when you don't know what the situation is you cant do that...  you've just got to wait.
