... all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.
--Julian of Norwich

Why are we prone to exaggerating the seriousness of the circumstances in our lives? Perhaps it's because we lived for years barely on the fringe of sensible choices. We reacted hysterically to all manner of experiences, the mundane as well as the momentous. Our reactions could turn any situation sour. At long last we are learning a new behavior, but it takes practice.

As we learn to rely on a Higher Power to help us handle our experiences, we begin to grow in peace and the belief that all is well. Even when we are tormented by a decision, we can have faith that our Higher Power will lead us where we need to go. Our part of the bargain is to ask for help and to be open to guidance.

I will know peace today because I will trust my Higher Power's guidance in the situations I face. All will be well if I do my part.

Ain't that the truth! It's all about our fears, after all, we are a fear based people.

Thank God I don't have to drink over any of it today!

 

Thanks for letting me share!

Oh so true. Humbling ourselves to be opened. (Coming to mind....we are proned to be toned-deaf when that inner voice is speaking. Yet if we close our eyes, clear our minds, we can hear.)

Fantastic stuff and so true. I have spent most of my life seeing life as a terrifying place where anything could happen at any moment - this perception was untrue, terrifying and exhausting. Life just slipped on by in savoured why I spent it in panic mode, what a waste of a beautiful life. And the main problem was it was self imposed, I chose the way I perceived and the way i lived internally and externally.

Thanks for that gift, helps me remember.
