ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL, Rock Island, Ill. -- Summer is here and your commute to work is filled with sites of pretty gardens, sunny sidewalks and children playing. You cannot help but smile, but after a few seconds you start thinking about the risk that the kids will become dehydrated, sunburned or get hit by a car.

Do you go through the day filled with exaggerated worry and tension? Do you anticipate disaster and are overly concerned about health issues, money, family problems, or difficulties at work?
