It's been raining cats and dogs all week. This morning I woke up thinking of henny penny and the sky is falling. I imagine that at times I'm like henny penny. The sky is falling...I may never get out of this financial mess. The sky is falling...I may never get married. The sky is falling...look at all those other women who are better than I am. The sky is falling...will my child ever make honor roll..and on and on...internally at times I'm convinced that the sky has fallen. As my good friend Juanita posted on her blog...www.mindfulintentions.blogspot.com...negative emotions are our enemy and we have to work hard to squash those negative emotions and focus on the positive and what we have control over. So understand that the sky falling may be situations, people, things that we have no control over. But what we/I do have control over is how I prepare for the sky to fall and my response if it does fall. But in the meantime...it's blue skies...

I feel like that sometimes too. Like there's too much to do, too much to worry about. But one thing at a time, one day at a time.
First of all, I LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! Now on to the meat and potatoes. So we may feel like the sky is falling sometimes, I rather live in a world with rain, snow, and sunshine, and be molded by my experiences than live in a world of constant sunshine, unaware of how my trials make me stronger and teach me lessons that help me become a better person. Financial mess......who isn't? Our government sucks at it too! Getting married? Love is not defined by marriage. Women who are better than you? WHO? Don't know of any bestie, :) and honor roll? Who made that system up anyway? Just because you can memorize some information you get on the honor roll, what about life lessons and actually learning? Just wanted to let you know that sometimes it feels like everything around us is crumbling, like nothing good is happening to us, like everyone around us is happy and has their -ish together, like the damn sky is falling, crushing the very life out of us. But remember the Creator has you in an ark, and just when you feel at your lowest, like you can't stand it anymore, the sun comes out, and you feel that warmth, and life is GOOD!
That was so hot! and so true! Thanks for that comment!
