On the one hand, I'm a blogger. This is what I like to do. Do I post everything about my life? Contrary to popular belief...NO. Not even close. I post quite a bit of what I call "surface information". For example, what am I doing, where am I going, what do I think of the world, etc. But there's a deeper level I will not go. Are there risks to being online? Yes, I'm sure there are risks but life is all about risks. There are risks with EVERYTHING we do. Any bad guy could come along at any time and totally ruin my life. Do I hide and never come out of my safe and secure cave? I can't live that way. I prefer to take a chance and believe in the goodness of people. Funny, people talk about negative and positive energy. Most of it is New Age silly stuff. But, there is a strand of truth. Being paranoid, thinking the worst instead of the best, creates negative energy that drains rather than charges.
Does this mean I should be stupid and take high risk chances all the time? No, you can't live your life on the edge all the time without getting cut and bloody. Believe me, I have had enough misfortune to last me a lifetime. So much so that I'm not as positive as I once was. I've been living in fear and I'm trying so hard to break free into a more positive life. Good things are starting to happen, Praise God, but I can't live life paranoid worrying about what might happen all the time because it will kill me and send me to an early grave. I choose to be positive because I believe God will find a way when there is no way. If my faith means anything, how in the world can I live a life of fear & worry?
EVERY DAY IS A PERFECT DAY.
What changes is my ability and willingness to recognize that. Above the storm cloud is a perfect blue sky created by a perfect God who loves us and gives us better than we deserve.
