I was walking home tonight having an ungrateful inner moment. Actually, what happened was that I came out of my mom’s house and saw one of her flower pots knocked over. I was tired and thought oh I’ll just leave that until tomorrow. Then I heard my Dad’s voice clearly in my head saying you need to go pick that up. Just do it. So I did. Then I looked up at the sky and made a face akin to the ones I made as a teenager. The scrunched up scowl of I hope you’re happy because I’m not. I walked across the cattle guard and looked north to see this:
So I’m assuming the answer was yes, I am happy. And now you are too. And he was right. The beauty of life makes me happy.
Bonus happiness moment today.
Am reading this again.. after a while… as a child.. i would often feel my late grandmother’s presence when I was going about my day… never disapproving.. but guiding.. its been a while since I felt that presence.. or maybe I just forgot it was there… tonight I was led back to.this post.. and I stepped out to look at the night sky… I felt her smiling at me again today.. thank you.. its been a while since i felt this connected to her.
I’m so happy that you were able to have that feeling of connection to her. It helps doesn’t it? Having that feeling of guidance from loved ones.
It really does…
