I am trying not to let the threat of war, or terrorism, or ricin in the Tube change how I live my life. Yes, this is a scary, uncertain time, but that's a fact of life these days. As Sept. 11, and more recent scares and threats has shown, you are never 100% safe anywhere. Heck, I was probably risking my life more driving in the narrow, twisty, country roads Wednesday morning in the pelting, freezing snow! I am still at a much higher risk of dying by driving every day, than by an act or war or terrorism.
Risk and uncertainty are part of life. Adventure and new experiences are, too. Try not to "what if" yourself into doubting your decision to move to the UK. I am the Queen of "What If's?", but I just have to slap myself upside the head and get on with LIFE!
This is my attitude today. Last night I was up, unable to sleep, "what-iffing" and worrying about everything in my life. I finally gave myself a good talking to and calmed down. So, I'm not telling you not to worry at all, but to put things in perspective and evaluate what is right for you and your life.
Hope that helped. Hang in there!
