Uncertainty

Who knows what will tomorrow will bring? Next week? Next month? Next year? The unknown. The uncertainty. I am one of those people who dwell on tomorrow. I wonder what will happen. Obviously, there is not a lot I can do about it, I certainly cannot change my destiny, my fate. In my mind, if I think about it long enough, I can expect the worst yet hope for the best. I can play out different scenarios in my head and know what I would do in any situation. The problem is, this never works. Any scenario I have in my head is really never the same as how it actually is. The worst thing is never really ever the worst thing. I don't generally think of myself as being negative or always looking for the wrong; in fact, I am a very positive person and my cup, well, it is always half full. "That which does not kill me, makes me stronger." Even though I dwell on tomorrow and wonder what will happen and perhaps have sleepless nights, I know what will happen, will happen. The only thing I can change about tomorrow is how I choose to look at it. If something bad unexpected happens, I eat a couple of cookies and look for a solution. Not always easy, in fact, hardly ever an easy solution is found. But, I have to keep looking for that golden lining to come through. The search is probably the solution in and of itself. The search is what keeps me focused and keeps my head in the game. If something good unexpected happens...well, I eat a couple of cookies and thank my Heavenly Father. Sometimes I may let myself dwell on what could have happened, but this takes only a few moments and then I look forward; to dwell on tomorrow for yet another day.
