one day at a time

Over the past year I have been continually plagued with anxiety. Emotionally I felt a wreck. So many personal problems, lousing a beloved pet, moving house and now coping with a new puppy. Fear and illness have been my constant companions. Each day as been a challenge, depressions, loneliness, guilt, sorrow. How much can a person take? Locked in your own world, life is going on around you the more you worry, the worse it gets.

While unpacking boxes and sorting out the contents, I came up with a dilemma, what to keep? And what do I throw away? So many memories, Thoughts, feelings so many emotions, some good and some bad. What do I keep and treasure? And which ones do I throw out. I need to be kind to myself. Time is a great healer and we try and give our time to others but don’t stop and have any ME time. I sat in my rocking chair and gently rocked backwards and forwards. Worry is like that I thought, I could sit here all day rocking in this chair, never going anywhere using up precious energy. Worry. Worry. Worry.

Stop, don’t let worry take over your life, take time out, use the key to unlock those emotions, treasure those good memories and give those you want to throw away to Him who cares about you. Yesterday has gone and tomorrow may never be ours, life is for today, take one day at a time.

One day at a time.
