And what's truly strange about my new feeling is that some really trying times could still come about, and yet I have a feeling of peace that I haven't experienced in a long time. Have I finally reached that stage where I'm honestly living a "Que Sera Sera" kind of life? Whatever will be, will be?
*Note: The Ronald had surgery this past Tuesday and is doing well. I'm sure his recovery has a role in my grateful disposition.*

I'm so glad, Becky, and I'm happy about Ronald's successful surgery, too. It's good to be content and positive.
ReplyDeleteXO,

Aloha Becky,
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy for you. There are people that are so good natured and will find some good in any given situation. I believe you're that kind of person.
Glad to hear your Ronald is coming along just fine; more power to him.
Warm hugs to you both.
That "Serenity Prayer" has helped me through a lot, helping me accept that some things cannot be changed, so don't rant and rave and mourn about them. Other things--things that are in our control--can be changed.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you're channeling Doris Day these days...
Hi Becky. I love that quote at the end of your post today. So true! I am so glad that you are in a better place right now - long may it continue my kind friend! Glad that Ronald's surgery was successful. Enjoy the rest of the weekend.
ReplyDeleteAhhh, the power of positive thinking. Glad to hear things are looking up for you and Ron is recuperating.
ReplyDeleteBecky, it is so nice when we experience the peace that surpasses all understanding, and I am so happy that is what is happening to you now.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that Ronald is doing well! That is surely to be a relief.
God bless, I'm praying for you guys.
Love ya,
Kathy M.
Happy is definitely a state of mind. Thrilled that Ronald is doing well. Have a fabulous weekend.
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,

That's a great quote by Golas, it took me a while to learn that! Glad the surgery was successful.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice day!
That is great news! I can relate a bit to the que sera sera feeling in my own way. After obsessing about getting pregnant for 17 years, last October I was finally able to just let it go and to trust that "what will be will be." Doing that brought me peace I hadn't known in close to 2 decades. Truly, there are things we cannot control, and we waste so much time either trying to control them or worrying about them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you've gotten a peaceful spirit..and I'm glad your husband is recovering so well.
Love,
Patti
I'm glad things went well with the surgery. It's always a scary thing! You are a very special person with a great outlook on life :-)
ReplyDeleteBecky, I'm so happy for you. Great post and quote! Hope you are having a great Sunday!
