My husband and I were talking about our families and the underlining theme of growing up.
I was fearful my father wouldn't see me graduate from high school, college and walk me down the aisle. My father did see me graduate from high school and died my second semester of college. My father had Rheumatic fever as a child due to Strep Throat. His heart was damaged. He lived more than most people-I know.
Three things have helped me most with my fear-faith, taking photos and writing. I was thinking about this yesterday when some of you shared with me, your thoughts-on my emotion post.
I think hope is what helps me process-my fear. Daily, I search for hope- I write, take photos and try to witness tiny miracles-in the way light enters the frame and paints my view. I have faith we are here to learn lessons, teach, be taught, and share our faith, love and hope. We don't know why bad things happen-we do not know the plan. I sometimes struggle with my fear and my faith, but I know when I see spring's rebirth out my window-I must remain hopeful.
So, when fear enters your world-add hope and faith. Spring says it all-as earth's brown shoulders become green, as cherry trees blossom and toss their pink confetti into the wind, and as the symphony of bees hum and twirl in a Blue Danube sky.

gracias for sharing your human moment
I've always believed that hope is eternal, faith initiates questions with answers we aren't always ready for. And while love is the desire, it isn't always the result.
Fear is the weakness we all battle against. Some days, we win. Some days the wound is deepened, but tomorrow is another day and the battle begins anew.
Jen-Thank you! Yes, I agree they do go hand n' hand~ We need reminders sometimes when fear enters our lives~ Same here-Cheers!
L.Diane-Lovely! I like that~
Renee-Thank you! It is a balancing act and we don't always get the results we hope for. Yes, I totally agree~ You are so sweet to me-thank you, so much! I needed cheering today. My son didn't get any answers on his biopsy. They think the pneumonia and hIs lack of oxygen caused his body to shred some of his muscles, but he had a similar thing happen ten years ago. It just wasn't as severe. ?!
Sherry-So, don't you Wild Woman! You have the greatest way of bringing nature to life~ Thank you!
Alex-Thank you! I still haven't watched the movie-not yet. I ran out of popcorn ;D I still think I might prefer Erik the Viking~
