Fear and Faith

The uncertainty of life can be scary sometimes, but if you let the scariness of it control you, you are good as dead.

So you need to “keep calm and carry on.”

Crying or complaining may be therapeutic, but it uses up so much energy which can be used for doing more productive things.

So I choose to do more productive things rather than be paralyzed by fear of the unknown. My faith makes this doable.

I have faith to help me deal with life’s scary uncertainties. What do you have?

Gratitude and Optimism

Yesterday I saw a video called “Life Lessons from 100-Year-Olds,” and it brought tears to my eyes. If you have time, watch it. I’m sure everyone can learn a thing or two from these centenarians.

I think it was fortuitous to have seen that video on the last day of the year, as it reminded me to look back at my own life during the past year (well, I am always looking back, lol)  and to count my blessings and be grateful even though 2018 saw me inwardly distraught about a number of things that I could not talk about with loved ones, as I do not want to spread negative vibes.

Today is the first day of 2019. I will try my very best to continue to be grateful and to believe that everything will be all right.

I hope you do as well.

Happy New Year!🎉💕
