Spirituality

I do not attend church every Sunday, however, I do pray to God every single morning while in the shower.  This may not be the most conventional place to pray, but it works for me.  I'm just waking up and thinking of the day ahead.  Some mornings I already feel good and other days I am in need of inspiration.  Some days I am calm and some days I am troubled with some worry.  But I always, without fail, feel better after my little talk with God.   A friend of mine suggested a few Bible versus for this blog.  I haven't read them yet, but I do intend to.  Perhaps they will be in a future post.  So today, right now, I pray that you are having a calm, relaxing day.  And if not (like me because work is crazy hectic) that you are keeping things in perspective and taking deep breaths to keep calm (like I am). 

Well, here goes.  My first post on my new blog page.  If you read about me on this page you know all about my first panic attack.  I have had many since then.  Some mild, some more intense.  Some for good reason, some out of nowhere.  But I have also learned how to minimize them.  And sometimes that has come from the help of others.  My first success story:
I was flying to Pennsylvania to visit my family.  I boarded the plane, took my seat and pulled out my magazine.  It was a rainy day but not harsh.  We taxied out to the runway when the pilot came on to tell us that there was a weather delay and we would be 45 minutes to an hour before taking off.  My first thought was "OMG, I'm stuck in this tiny metal tube!"  I called my husband from my cell phone to tell him that I was freaked out.  He said to me, "Look out the window.  What do you see?"  I told him I saw the ground, the tarmac. He said "It's better than being stuck in the air!"  I immediately calmed down.  I sat back, told myself it was just a slight delay, pulled out my magazine and went on to have a great flight. 
You see, it's all in how you think!!
