In this Journal, I will attempt to strip away my protective veneer to view and communicate honestly what the truth is as I perceive it. My intent is to grow, for without an honest evaluation of the truth, how else can one fully absorb life's more difficult lessons and benefit by them. If I do this in secret, then I am still hiding behind a protective veneer, so it is being published online. If you find this Journal, you are welcome to read it and hopefully grow from it as well.

If I Don't Fear My Own Death ...

If I don't fear my own death, why would I fear anyone else's?

This came to me as I laid in bed Monday night (12/10/12). I don't fear my own death and yet I have agonized over the potential deaths of my loved ones. But it is foolish to do so for I have no control over their lives, and their lives are in hands far greater than my own.

Instead, I would be much wiser to make the most of my time with them and to allow life to be as it is rather than waste any energy in worry over events I don't control.
