Could it be? Yes, it could. Something’s coming, something good, if I can wait! Something’s coming, I don’t know what it us, but it is gonna be great! Larry Kert, West Side Story
Enough with the existential dread! Move aside, expectation! Hopelessness? Fuggedaboutit!
I’ve known some worry-warts. They’re the ones always waiting for the other shoe to drop. The ones who start their sentences with “Yes, but…” They’re exhausting, and can drain my joy if I’m not careful. I can lose my joy all on my own, thank you very much, and I’m actively doing something about that by expressing gratitude in all things. Where there is gratitude, there is joy and peace and serenity.
Yes, bad things happen. Yes, the unexpected blows might connect and knock me to the ground. But I can get up, dust myself off, and be grateful for new insights. I can tune in to my Higher Power, the Spirit of All, and say yes. Yes, I can get up. Yes, I can feel the wonder of joy in the moment. Yes, I can rest in What Is, and simply let it all be. I can enjoy the joy of others, be happy for their happiness, and willingly share my own with anyone who can’t find theirs.
I know that something’s coming, something good! And in the meantime, I can bask in the joyful anticipation of the next Wonderful Thing!
