Thought hopping skips to a dangerous beat

Thought hopping aka "jumping to conclusions" is verrrrrry dangerous.  Even in the face of what seems SO "obvious" (gratuitous use of quotes intentional), if we could but still our minds and still our infernal, internal tongues.  Fretting would be greatly diminished, as would a measure of high blood pressure, tummy upset and general physical and mental discomfort.

Hmmm... He's going to talk to a doctor [A] +  The doctor is a specialist in a cancer center [B] = HE MUST HAVE CANCER!!!

Welllll... no. Not exactly. In fact, not at all.  Now let that be a lesson to me. And hopefully one you can appreciate, too.  You can't get a refund on worry, so save your precious now for the only thing we can really control... our thoughts.
