Of course, Diane, you are correct. You do not mince words, sugar-coat, etc. Thank you for your honesty. On Mother's Day, we were having lunch in the restaurant in the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. An older man walked by with a pastel-y T-shirt (not really expected wear in this place, I guess, so I noticed) that said Radical Happiness. I take "signs" from wherever I receive them. So I began Googling when I got home. No T-shirts, but a book on Amazon by Gina Lake. i was able to see the intro and the ?first 3 chapters. In spite of my induced dizziness upon reading, I bought the book. Here are the first words of the Introduction: " Happiness doesn't need to be sought because it isn't hidden. It's like a treasure we have always been in possession of without realizing that. True happiness- radical happiness - is the happiness that is always present and not dependent on circumstances. ... True happiness comes from experiencing our true nature by being present in each moment." You live this. You inspire me. You never give up - just because you see reality. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and your goodness. 'Miss you terribly!
I am trying to HELP you. Do not focus on this world for it is controlled by Satan. He seeks only to divide, to separate, to cause mayhem. Stay focused on the Lord of lords and King of kings….for ONLY through him may we seek to accomplish all good things. So much of life is beyond our control. Seek ONLY what YOU can control. If you cannot control, then let it GO. 😊
As a healthcare provider. Diane…your latest post. You are depressed. Waiting to die. Sad. NO! Every day that you are given is meant to be productive….How, you ask? Instead of thinking of you and your wishes/desires/wants/needs, etc., think of others. Get the focus OFF of your self. Seek to be the one who encourages, who prays(or whatever your faith is), who cooks, who drives, who serves your neighbor. We will all die. What is your legacy? Live and die, or live and leave a legacy. Your choice. Do not be depressed or dismayed. The Lord goes before you. He will make your path STRAIGHT. Consider the Christian fate…we will all be persecuted…..choose your defense….I pick my Lord and my Savior Jesus. 🙏
