Day 2239: Will That Matter On Your Deathbed?

When stressed, worried or anxious ask yourself will this matter on my deathbed and if the answer is no then stop being stressed, worried or anxious – that’s what I do.

It’s 10 : 49 AM on day 2239 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, have breakfast, read Psalm 23:4, learn on new thing – Lugubrious [lu·gu·bri·ous] adj. Looking or sounding sad and dismal; mournful. “The lugubrious country song reminded her of an ex-boyfriend.” – and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign – yesterday Stan Faryna donated $25 (thanks SO MUCH Stan for always always supporting me) which brings the total raised to $8 186.04 only $4 313.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

This morning I realized most of the things we worry about and fuss over won’t matter in a year so in moments of stress, worry or anxiousness we should all ask ourselves will this matter on my deathbed and if the answer is no then stop being stressed, worried or anxious.

Day 2198: Why I’m Trying Not to Worry

Leave a reply

With God in me I can get through anything – that’s what I keep realizing.

It’s 10: 46 AM on day 2198 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read Psalm 16: 11 and work on my 25 Smiles Campaign –raised $7 675 only $4 825 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

Today I realized that although it’s hard I shouldn’t be so worried about my health because with God in me I can get through anything.

Day 1348:Do you choose happiness over worry whenever you have a choice?

Happiness is a choice –that’s what I want the world to know.

It’s 12 : 20 PM on day 1348 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to pray, brush my teeth, feed myself peanut butter sandwiches and a banana for breakfast, read Psalm 35, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – still on 80% it is the weirdest thing the people I expected would help me with this campaign don’t even ask me about it and the people who don’t know me from a bar of soap are going above and beyond to help me I suppose I’m being too harsh on people they have mortgages to pay and families to support me and my campaign are probably the last thing on their minds which I understand.

Yesterday somebody was worrying about something they had no control over and me being I said something along the lines of there are so many other things to worry about like the fact that all of us are going to be underwater soon (the person I said that to didn’t find it funny at all) I recently figured out that worrying about things you have no control over is pointless so now if I have a choice between worrying and being happy I choose to be happy. Do you choose happiness over worry whenever you have a choice?

Day 1213: Do you worry about things you can’t control?

Leave a reply

There’s no use worrying about things you can’t control – that’s what I realized yesterday.

It’s 2: 05 PM on day 1213 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read 2 Chronicles 16, publish my Disability of the Day feature, feed myself boiled egg and All Bran Flakes for breakfast and hang out with my family.

Yesterday thinking about the blood tests I took earlier in the day I realized there’s no use worrying about things you can’t control whatever will be will be and because God is with me I know I can handle it .Do you worry about things you can’t control?

Day 351

Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. – Leo Buscaglia

It’s 7: 09 PM on day 351 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, reply to a few comments of this blog, read The Economics of Friendship. And other social media DOHs by Stan Faryna, feed myself oranges for breakfast, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – watch TV, tweet about my campaign some more–still no luck although somebody did promise to make a donation so it wasn’t a total loss– feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some TV and feed myself bread and baked beans for dinner and brush my teeth once more.

This morning I was in the bathroom and as per usual I checked for any changes in my body which is normal for every women I suppose but I take it to the extreme if I notice a change or think that there’s something wrong I automatically assume the worst I remember this one time I thought I found a lump in my breast only it was a bone sticking out LOL I will never live that down my siblings still bring that up every once in a while but I honestly don’t mind because they don’t know what it feels like to be put under anesthetic not knowing if you’re going to wake up again– I had to have surgery done on my back when I was younger due to the fact that I had Scoliosis – in any case while I was in the bathroom checking for changes in my body I realized that waiting for the other shoe to drop wasn’t really living so I’ve decided not to worry so much and trust that I’m doing enough to earn my life. Are your worries of tomorrow robbing you of the joys of today?
