Breathe
in deeply, breathe out deeply. My mind is in disarray this morning and I
cannot focus.
So I will spend the rest of today watching carefully to my investments. Or will I?
As the shock settles and we talk it out over breakfast, my toast did not quell the nausea present this morning. My challenges for this day must continue. I am jolted back into place quickly as my schedule reminders ding, ding away distracting me from my quiet conversations. How did he become President? My American friends have voted for the message, not the messenger.
My funk again lifted as I ready for the pretty smiles of my good friend, a special lunch date booked out for 2 full hours of giggles and laughter. My reflections for today……
“Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything” – George Bernard Shaw
OK, I wrote
most of this blog back in November 2016 and only shared it with my writing
coach. Now it is time to share it with all of you, despite I am still breathing
in deeply and breathing out deeply. I am still wondering how this happened,
voting for a message and not a messenger. I still need to lift my funk.
So here is my solution for coping in these challenging times in our world to-day. I have taken these words from a recent Facebook post I saw on Joel Olsteen’s ministries and it really helped.
Going forward, I will work hard to be “at rest” and besides, I have 2 fun social events planned this week and soon some of my family will be visiting lifting me out of my funk.

So here is my solution for coping in these challenging times in our world to-day. I have taken these words from a recent Facebook post I saw on Joel Olsteen’s ministries and it really helped.
His
version of Exodus 14:13-14, wherein Moses said to the people, “Don’t be afraid, for
the Lord will fight for you if you hold your peace and remain at rest.
Notice there’s a condition - if you remain at rest then the creator of the
universe will fight for you. If you don’t worry about the medical report, if
you don’t get upset over the contract you didn’t get, if you don’t live
stressed out over the people that are talking to you, God will fight your
battles because you’re at rest.”
Going forward, I will work hard to be “at rest” and besides, I have 2 fun social events planned this week and soon some of my family will be visiting lifting me out of my funk.
