CONCLUSION

 My desire to write about the Healing Power of Creative Writing came about because of my own anxieties and fears.  For years, I've enjoyed writing Plays and Stories and Blogs, allowing my love of poetry and prose to give life to my creative endeavours.

A time came when it became more difficult to find inspiring ideas to write about. I was confused and worried as to what could be done  Surely our imagination is limitless, living in a World of such immense beauty and wonder?.

Reality struck home when I made efforts to love all that came my way, each day. Special moments can be highlighted through poetry and prose.  

Time spent reading and writing, especially efforts at writing poems can be great fun, and very rewarding.  I hope this Book will inspire all who read it to capture the spirit of creative writing, and write!

   

CONCLUDE...

 CONCLUDE...

It can happen that one is pushed to find a Conclusion to a creative work, especially when it spans almost two years.  This is my dilemma at present...

It began as a desired longing to write about dealing with my anxiety and changes within myself, almost becoming a different person.  The image I had of myself was one of 'happy and able to enjoy challenges as they came my way',

This new person was like a new me, one that was anxious and afraid to move on in life, unable to be decisive and positive in my outlook on life.  Why..?

Perhaps a lot had to do with my failures and inability to face the truth of just who I am, an ordinary person learning to know and love God. Instead of Faith, I was swamped with doubts...  All that I have known and believed since childhood seemed unreal... WOW!

All of this, coming from a person who had vowed to have a positive outlook on life, and a firm belief in God's love for me...  What was happening?  Am I just kidding myself, believing that I am a good person, even though my thoughts and actions seem to deny this.

Not so.  At last reality has come into the picture and I realise that I am not the victim of my emotions / I am not the victim of feelings that change when I feel a little unwell, or hurt or whatever.  

Each one of us is guided through life by a loving Creator who prompts us to do what is honorable and right.  Our job is to respond / to listen to that inner voice which is always available, and not to allow our misguided feelings to get in the way.

Give time to listening to the Voice of Truth, to our Creator and ignore those silly feelings and emotions that come and go like a bad cold. 

Life is about living and having fun,

 see the Light and blow the cobwebs away!

COMFORT...

 COMFORT...

What a comfort it is to be at peace and happy to be just who we are, as if there wasn't a worry in the World!

Comfort can be found in many ways, a job well done / a friendly smile / the innocence of a child etc.

To be comforted depends really on ourselves and our approach to life in general. It can happen that we become worried and even depressed about something, then learn later, there was no need. The situation is resolved and our peace is restored.

Perhaps this is where we can learn to be at peace, comforted by our ability to see a positive side to things that may worry us. We learn to be comforted by the awareness of the power of positive thinking,  especially the comfort in knowing that we are loved!
