Does 12/31/1999 seem like a VERY long time ago? The panic over Y2K is funny now looking back. Would the banks shut down, would there be food to eat or water to drink, would business as we knew it grind to a halt? At work we had to write letters to our customers assuring them that their elevators would not fall out of the sky at the stroke of midnight.
It all seems so funny now. We laughed at the man of our household who bought extra canned goods during each grocery store trip and made sure we had cash on hand in case the bank machines would not work. We roared with giggles at a friend who had a room in her basement with everything from food to gas masks and blankets. The night of "the beginning of the end" was celebrated at a fun dinner with friends where we promptly forgot all of our worries and as we headed to bed not one thing seemed to have gone wrong.
A wonderful lesson in how preparation is everything but worry is useless. As the saying goes, may your troubles always be smaller than your imagination!
