Psalm 143:1 Hear my prayer, O LORD, give ear to my supplications: in thy faithfulness answer me, and in thy righteousness.

FEAR~
I won’t allow fear to win over my being as it tugs on me. FEAR? Get over it!
~~ joni, as she moves on to the next stage
No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear. ~Edmund Burke (1729 - 1797)
Fear is that little darkroom where negatives are developed.
~Michael Pritchard
To use fear as the friend it is, we must retrain and reprogram ourselves...We must persistently and convincingly tell ourselves that the fear is here--with its gift of energy and heightened awareness--so we can do our best and learn the most in the new situation.
~Peter McWilliams, Life 101
FAITH~
I will carry my faith tightly clenched in my hand, and permanently engrossed in my soul.
~~Joni, as she heals
“Faith is the ‘eternal elixir’ which gives life, power and action to the impulse of thought! Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches! Faith is the basis of all ‘miracles’ and all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science! Faith is the only known antidote for failure!”
~Napoleon Hill
“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Work as if you were to live a hundred years. Pray as if you were to die tomorrow.” ~Benjamin Franklin
“Fear of failure and fear of the unknown are always defeated by faith. Having faith in yourself, in the process of change, and in the new direction that change sets will reveal your own inner core of steel.”
~Georgette Mosbacher
Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
~J.R.R.Tolkien (1892 - 1973)
LIFE ~
I will live life to the fullest and take nothing less than what is waiting for me out there. ~ joni, as she finds the healing tree and eats of its fruit
A person’s life is not a series of dramatic events for which he or she is applauded or exiled but a slow accumulation of days, seasons, years, fleshed out by the generational weight of one’s family and anchored by a land-bound sense of place.
~Gretel Ehrlich
Life offers no obstacles, only challenges.A person’s life is not a series of dramatic events for which he or she is applauded or exiled but a slow accumulation of days, seasons, years, fleshed out by the generational weight of one’s family and anchored by a land-bound sense of place.
~Gretel Ehrlich
Life is just a mirror, and what you see out there, you must first see inside of you.
~Wally Famous Amos (1936 - )

Isn't it INCREDIBLE how we can work through our emotions with our writing?
:)
Take care!

It sure feels therapeutic to me.
Thousands, possibly millions of dollars saved from NOT going to therapy, psychologist and psychiatrist, all because writing is more therapeutic than any doctor! :)
