A lovely post that reminds me to seek out those positives in life. All too often we get hung up on the negative moments. They seem to stick in our brains easier and demand more attention. Our good moments are just more well mannered and wait quietly for us to remember them. Thanks for the reminder to do just that!

Nature pushes us to discomfort; towards a greater life; seek and agree with her order

Wishing you the best in your future and hope the transition is a good one. When I have adversity and uncertainty, I just pray the Creator will smile upon me. I must say that I have been blessed and, after reading this, sincerely believe that you will be blessed as well.

"We don't feel relaxed about not knowing and waiting." All too true but the reminder to turn that around, to seek a positive outcome, is key.

Reading your piece, Luiza, I felt a pang of recognition. The 'uncertainty of it all,' as you so eloquently put it, is something that resonates deeply. It's that gnawing feeling in the pit of the stomach, the questions that swirl endlessly in the mind, the fear of what lies ahead. And yet, as you pointed out, uncertainty is a constant in life. We crave control, but the truth is, we have very little of it. It's a humbling realization, but also, as you suggest, a freeing one. Perhaps it's in letting go of the illusion of control that we find true peace.

Hi Alexander. I’m glad it resonated. Letting go of the idea of control is really hard, though. Something to work on constantly, I guess. :)
