Each week, I share a Good New Post which is some acknowledgment of something good that happened as a way to cultivate an attitude of thankfulness. It is an important part of maintaining my mental health.
Normally I share the specifics of what happened. But not this time.
There is some Good News but I’m not going to tell you what it is. I will say that a few months ago that I was hinting at some challenging circumstances in my life.It was very difficult and if I’m honest, I will admit that I thought it was a hopeless situation.
But one thing I have learned in recent years is feeling hopeless and being hopeless are not the same thing.
Again, I am not going to share the details and I will also admit I can’t predict what the future will look like. But I can say that the situation right at this moment, and for the last six weeks or so, is completely different than what it was when I was in my deepest despair.
This probably doesn’t sound fair as I am talking around something without sharing exactly what the situation was/is. However, the purpose of these Good News posts is for me and not for you. If you are blessed by them, that is great, but I write these to remind myself that there are things to be thankful for.
If you can rejoice with me without knowing the details, that’s great. If you can pray without knowing the situation, that’s better.
