To Be Certain

Good Morning DearHearts

“We are living in uncertain times” has been said so frequently it has become a cliché.  It is hard to remember IF our world has ever been certain.  What have we been sure about in the past 20 years? 

Countless politicians, ministers, self help gurus and teachers have imparted the idea of uncertainty during speeches and sermons.  Uncertainty can actually increase attendance at retreats, Sunday services and help to get out the vote since many are seeking to find something “sure” in life.

I remember being told as a child the only certain things were death and taxes. Thanks, but no thanks I won’t give those two choices my vote.  I’m sure I can uncover something more pleasant that can be certain; so let’s explore that possibility.

I am certain to smile every time I see a squirrel stand up on its back legs and look at me.  I cannot remember anytime that did not occur since I was a small child.

I am certain to feel pride in my country every time I hear the National Anthem, no matter if it’s at the Super Bowl or an Inauguration. That prideful feeling will be accompanied by happy tears, certainly.

I am certain to have my eyes fill with tears every time I see a reunion of military personnel with either their family or their pets.  It is the closest anyone can get to being able to “see” love in action.

It is certain the sun will rise every morning.  The moon will cycle through every month from new moon to full moon and back again, it is certain.

I am sure hope is certain.  Yes, it sometimes wanes in troubled moments but it always returns.  Hope is indomitable, no matter how some might act to destroy it, hope will rise again.  I am very certain.

I am certain everyone prefers happiness over sadness.  The world may seem to be offering more of the unwanted choice and yet I am sure the desire for happiness will win out. 

I am certain everyone has at least one childhood memory that will bring a smile to either their face or heart when it is remembered.    I am also certain many have forgotten to remember.

I am certain that when anyone visits the magnificence of the ocean or the serenity of a mountain top, it takes their breath away.

I am certain there is more kindness than unkindness in everyone’s heart. I am also certain that only fear prevents this from being known.

To be certain is to really know. This doesn’t mean to have a hunch or even perhaps an intuition. Certainty rises above any question or doubt. Certainty comes with a feeling of ease, commitment and peace that is undisturbed. Faith brings me certainty and certainty brings knowledge.

“Love rests in certainty. Only uncertainty can be defensive. And all uncertainty is doubt about yourself”

I am also certain that if you like my blog, you will like my book “Good Morning DearHearts” . It’s available on my website JanetWeissman.com or on Amazon and other booksellers.
