Drama.
The word itself looks looming, suspicious that it’s something a bit shady.
Most of us don’t like drama. We cringe when we sense it coming. We’re already tired most of the time and engaging in drama takes more energy than we have to spare.
What if someone comes at you with false accusations? Unfair badgering? Unfounded judgements?
You want to defend yourself, right? Set them straight? I mean, your very reputation may be at stake here.
I’ve had a bit of a rough week, folks.
Do you ever have those days when you feel like you’re an involuntary participant in an ugly game of dodgeball and you’re the only one getting hit by the ball? Repeatedly?
This week has been a string of a couple of those days. I have a lot on my mind, some real concerns.
At the end of 2015, I discovered a bulge in my abdomen. Immediately I was worried, internally panicked. Having worked in the medical field for 20 years and being a chronic patient (thanks to Crohn’s disease), I know more than the average bear about medical things. And I’m a chronic worrier so my mind goes to the worst possibility.
appy New Year!
Can you believe we’re nearly through the first week of the new year?
Did you make new year’s resolutions? I don’t really make them so much any more…because I know I’ll break them.
I’ll start out strong and motivated as we all do…
“I’m going to get in shape for real.”
“I’m going to the gym every day.”
Tonight we ring out another year past. We sweetly remember the beautiful things and say “good riddance” to the painful junk.
We resolve to do better, look better, eat better. To get organized and finally get fit. All noble resolutions that most of us won’t keep…again. 😉
BUT we have hope always hope. God promises us a future and a hope and I encourage you to start the new year when the click ticks twelve, with an attitude of positivity: about yourself.
You are good. You are worthy. You deserve wonder and beauty and comfort.
Be expectant in 2016. Expect wonderful things. Look for ways you can make things wonderful for others.
Be blessed and safe tonight in whatever you do, whether it’s a grand gala or a peaceful ringing in at home in the arms of the one you love.
Unwrap the gift of hope that your future promises.
Be Expectant!
