You don’t know anything
I have to remind kick myself every day in order to remember that I don’t know anything because I don’t. When your mind gets anxious, it’s because you are worried about the outcome of something – the trick is you think you know the outcome and you worry, but the truth is that you don’t know it – you haven’t met all the people in the world, you haven’t been to all the places in the world, you haven’t read all the books or seen all the movies or danced to all the sweet music the world has to offer, so relax, there is nothing to be anxious about – the world is unfolding.
The past 48 hours I’ve been dealing with some nasty stuff, but while that was all going on, so were a number of wonderful things – good news on a friend’s diagnosis, another friend completed her last round of chemo today, and a bevy of new people entered my life when a friend posted my Transracial Parenting site on her Facebook page.
We are on the constantly evolving train journey to wonderland – and the icky parts come only from resistance to the ride. Those who clearly see that the reign of terror is over are more scared than ever – that would be those who are rich beyond measure as well as those who are ignorant beyond baseline.
So people – celebrate not knowing what is coming and open up to what is here.
