This morning the Hazelden reading spoke about "The Golden Key" by Emmet Fox. Not being familiar with that I looked it up on-line. It's basically the same idea as Let Go and Let God. It was a good reminder.

Yesterday when I went to visit Mom she kept saying the same phrase over and over, "Let it be." Now, for my mother that is a very odd statement. She has always been the classic worry wart. She would always tell me to pray about a problem that I had but she seldom practiced that herself. I'm not sure if it is her new medication or a newly found serenity but Mom seems to be worry free except for sleeplessness and a periodic headache. I told my brother yesterday that Mom's song of the day seemed to be the Beatles "Let It Be." He laughed.

My perpetual calendar's thought for today is:

In the midst of fear and doubt,
act courageously, and you
will be courageous.

I think having faith, stepping out in faith, is courageous. Letting go of worry is courageous. Giving God a problem and leaving it with Him is courageous. That's why I'm not going to worry so much about today's luncheon with Aunt Nelle and my brother. I think Barry is going to grasp the idea of moving into his own apartment without any real problems.
