Mom: Why are you so anxious? Everything will be okay.
Sonny: Will you guarantee that?
Mom: I have faith that God will be with us and all will be okay.
Sonny: See you couldn't answer my question and things may not be okay,
So that's why I am anxious
Mom: No use crossing a bridge in advance as it may not appear at all
or if there is one it may be an easy one to cross.
No point in stressing unnecessarily.
Sonny walks away slightly reassured and Mom looks heavenward and sends a silent prayer to God to please ensure all will be okay, anxious thoughts filling up her head.
What I really wanted to say is that sometimes things are easier said than done.
Wishing you all an anxiety free day.

Sometimes hope and a little faith is all we need !
ReplyDeleteSo true Naba. Faith and hope is what gets us through life's trials.
DeleteHi Suzy.. I like the statement 'somethings are easier said than done' .. very true and sonnys are always impatient never trusting their mommies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaapitimes. Yep they want things to happen instantly. It was a test of my patience.
DeleteYes, I feel sometimes when we say assuring words to others we are in fact saying them first to ourselves because we need that assurance too that all will be well. Nicely done, Suzy.
ReplyDeleteThat is so right Beloo. So often we say the words to convince ourselves as well. Thanks for reading and commenting.
DeleteJust your saying 'Everything will be okay' must have taken root in his mind. Enough to feel nothing will be okay since you couldn't give him the answers he wanted. A son's reliance on his mother as his support-system is so apparent here.
ReplyDeleteGood to have read this, Suzy.
Thanks Sakshi. No matter what age they are, they still need us for emotional support.
DeleteIt is indeed very difficult to reassure someone. Many a time there is that gap between words spoken and words heard. Nevertheless, we all try our luck :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vidya.So true that in the end our own minds need to reassure but providing encouragement to our children is our job to do.
DeleteSo days we wish our words give us strength and calm us.
ReplyDeleteGlad to know your son is better now. God bless.
Thanks Inderpreet. He's doing well.
DeleteConvincing yourself and reassuring him all at the same time. :) Hope everything went well with your son.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie. Yes it went well and he's recovering well. So true, I was convincing myself and reassuring him.
DeleteThat was truly sweet of u, Suzy. Wish you too an anxiety free week ahead.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ajai. Hope you have a great week too.
DeleteI hope he's okay now...
ReplyDeleteYes he is. Thanks Jgifederizo.
DeleteHope is what keeps us going in life. You are always so full of positive energy that makes us believe in life:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vishal. Hope and faith.
