Brrr, on this Grrreat Morning!

We are experiencing the tail end of a winter storm which is expressing as an ice storm with freezing rain.  The chill on the outside reminds me of the warmth within.  That reminds me that everything starts within.  If you want to experience joy, love, abundance, peace, you must begin by first experiencing it within.

About twenty years ago my first husband and I split up.  We each went separate ways.  I looked at is as taking a new path in life.  Whenever we begin a new phase of our life, whether by divorce, changing jobs, or moving to a new location, it is like we are resurrecting ourselves into a new life; a different chapter in the same life.  The story is ours to create.  For me, I was living alone for the first time in my life, I was dating again, and I had just discovered my first new thought church.  I learned so much through the classes and Sunday services. I found a community of positive, like-minded people.

I dated, but nothing seemed to resonate with me.  I took classes and dance lessons, and put myself into doing the things I wanted to do.  My philosophy was that if I was doing the things I enjoyed doing, that I would meet someone on the same wave length.  Finally I realized that I was happy in my own life and whether I found another person or not, that I was content with my own life.  When I was able to say, truthfully, that I was loved, lovable and loving, that's when my my second husband walked into my life.

Many things may happen to us in our own lives that are not on the "Top Ten" list of things that could happen; but when we are able to allow ourselves to realize that it isn't bad, it isn't good, it just is, life opens up more opportunities.
