My hope is that one day I'll wake up and things will just flow. There will be no waiting for the other shoe to drop. That I will be able to breeze from one thing to the next. That's my goal and my hope.

I hate to disappoint you but I think you are setting yourself up for disappointment. The shoe will always drop. That's just life. Its how we enjoy the good times and manage the bad. We can either be destroyed by the fire or be forged in fire and become stronger in our lives.

I just don't want to be afraid of the shoe to drop.

I understand. Maybe if you can realize that we cant change it no matter what we do and worrying is just hurting you. It took me a long time to get there. It took a real bad car wreck to realize that I had zero control of certain things. I was always scared to drive and then it happened anyway. It taught me a big lesson that all that worry didn't do any good but cause suffering all those years. Now I just roll with the punches. I still get anxious over certain things like tornados but I try not to sweat the small things too much.

I know how you feel. I’m afraid Melhall is right - there is no permanent security. But know that there are many caring people in the world, and if we stick together, that makes things better.
