Not like Senior Citizen old, but just too old and too late to waste time on insanity. I must always check myself now to make sure I am not making the same mistakes, using the same broken barometers that previously lead me astray, and recognizing when it was the barometer's defect or my misuse thereof.
My father often reminds me, that we must give praise and thanks to God in all things. This serves me particularly well especially when life or circumstance starts to look scary,... (which it can as time progresses) we must be thankful.
Sometimes that thanks is for the hard lesson, and even for the gas-dryer door screw that shows up in my daughters laundry basket.
We must be thankful in every moment of every day. I find that even if I am happy when provoked to be sad, life is better for me. This strange happiness tends to tick people off. They often think I am without feelings or not taking things seriously enough.... not true.
Really, I am just happy to know whatever the burden, I am not going it alone. God has been and will be there to assist, to protect me in all my ways, given this... for what reason should I (or anyone for that matter) ever worry.
We should, given the circumstances, always be happy and with minimal to no stress. This will let us use our time doing what we love, versus worrying as we are attacked by the anxiety gremlins.
No time for gremlins, no time to waste. Be thankful, tell your family you love them...spend time with people you like. LIVE!
