I have a friend that have been thru so many challenging situations in life, but is able to keep her positive disposition thru them all. I am always so amazed at how she handles difficulties and still keep a smile on her face AND place things into perspective. Sometimes I listen to her stories and think to myself My God, I would crumble under that pressure. She truly lives the old Bobby McFerrin song Don't Worry, Be Happy!
I on the other hand, am not that optimistic. At times I can calm myself down and sit still long enough to hear God's voice directing me on how to handle the situation. But most times, I simply worry. Although I know that worrying only adds stress to the situation and blurs my vision. Not to mention have a negative effect on my health; mental, emotional and physical.
My friend's level of optimism is what I strive to achieve someday. I know that I must maintain my Faith in God that he can and will provide my every need, that worrying over ANY situation is a true waste of my time and everything in life happens for a reason. It is simply my job to trust God's decisions and follow the path that he has ordained for me. I truly believe that God allows us to go thru certain situations because there is a lesson that he is trying to teach us. I just need to remember this in the midst of my storms, be optimistic, trust God's plan and take note of the lesson.
Life is about growing with each step along the way. So Don't Worry.....Be Happy!

About Me

- I am a native of New Orleans but currently live in the DC metro area. The things that I enjoy the most in life are photography, lending a helping a hand to those around me, traveling, cooking, and the taste of great wines. I believe that life should be lived out loud and that the greatest tradjedy is to not live your life to the absolute fullest and that you should do so without fear of failure to just simply try.
