The future is not
certain. We can be fearful
or we can choose life.

It’s scary to have a doctor’s appointment that’s meant to end with results. Is it positive, negative, or just a glitch?
Eric said to me, “There have been so many times you’ve gone in to get information. That’s scary.”
My response, “Yep.”
“And, I’m still here.”
I think what he was saying was: there have been so many times when life has been uncertain. Not knowing is scary. And, yet, in my mind, what am I to do with it? What am I to do with the unknown?
My hair stylist said, “Aren’t you afraid they are traveling right now?”
I didn’t mean to be flippant, but my response, “It’s not like I’m going to convince them not to go. So no. I’m not afraid. What good would that do me?”
It’s weird. So many things are so very uncertain. Downright scary. We can be filled with fear. But as a wise friend once told me:
You can’t be brave unless you’re afraid.
So we can choose to look uncertainty in the eye and say, “I see you, scary thing. And today, I’ll keep going.”
Hello Fear! Let's do this. 😊
