Your positive attitude is what always keeps me coming back. :)Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038918668619367960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-69420171595257903432013-10-06T08:50:58.122-07:002013-10-06T08:50:58.122-07:00It is very hard to be in uncertain times or situat...It is very hard to be in uncertain times or situations. I am a much happier pson when everything is set, going as planned, and when life is not throwing us curve balls. Yet, in the last few years, all we seem to get is those wild curve balls and lots of surprises. And I am not one who likes surprises or for things to go anyway other than what I have planned. <br /><br />But as I am learning, it is important for us all to learn to enjoy each day and not spend too much effort on tomorrow. <br /><br />Glad you are looking at things in a positive light. I think we often see and experience the best things in life, when we least expect them and when times are not as we expect. <br /><br />Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433530343156355284noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-5199160903117511662013-10-05T10:07:40.465-07:002013-10-05T10:07:40.465-07:00Jasmine: Read my latest post.

And for now, I'll take what I can get!<br />This post is just me reflecting on what it's like to live in a moment that isn't necessarily my favorite- I just don't do well with uncertainty; it often feels like impending doom due to past patterns. And yet while living with something I don't like, I can make the choice to see what's good that is going on all around me. If I just take the time to choose how I see it, I can change my outlook for the better. That's what I'm choosing to do!'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-38176142470426927982013-10-03T16:18:45.965-07:002013-10-03T16:18:45.965-07:00It feels so freeing to not have to stick with the ...It feels so freeing to not have to stick with the same old stuff that wasn't really working for you anyway, doesn't it? And yes, for me at one time I wasn't the Captain of my Ship because I was a minor living in a crazy world. But then as I got older it was absolutely my choice to stay in that mess, even if I didn't know a way out. When I finally learned that I couldn't fix anyone else, I decided it was time to fix me!'Yellow Rose' Jasminehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12496382898548158316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-15030761285868417432013-10-03T16:16:05.918-07:002013-10-03T16:16:05.918-07:00Yikes!

Today it is dreary, rainy and rather cold and I think this is annoying weather. You talk about living where it's sunny and that might be a pleasant change for you. I always think of that song from Annie... Tomorrow. It's a rousing song and it sounds good on a day like today.Manzanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467261212623663365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-27337926396094274292013-10-03T13:39:26.340-07:002013-10-03T13:39:26.340-07:00Oh yeah, patterns.

My recent revelation is similar to yours. I spent a lot of time regretting my bad choices and feeling like I was a victim of other people. It was a light bulb moment when I realized that I was always Captain of My Ship. Never was I a victim. Instead, I was a Captain who made one poor choice after another. That changed everything!!! By understanding my own patterns, I can Choose not to repeat those mistakes. I can be a Captain who makes Healthy Choices. <br /><br />Sounds like you have had the breakthrough about uncertainty. You are still the Captain. And you will never again treat uncertainty in the same way again. That is huge, Jasmine!!!! Good for you:)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4737013174690278913.post-7750342494581679422013-10-03T12:04:39.801-07:002013-10-03T12:04:39.801-07:00Often I think we've got our eyes on the wrong ...Often I think we've got our eyes on the wrong things and miss what should be obvious. It's kind of like texting while driving. Or maybe driving with your eyes closed. <br /><br />Lee<br /><a href="http://afarawayview.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> A Faraway View</a><br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.com
