"May you live all the days of your life."  -Jonathan Swift

How has life prepared you for now?
I've read a lot of books that give me different views.  Some say life is a school, that everything is a learning experience, others say it's just something we deal with before we die, and others say that life isn't a school but a place for us to remember who we really are in the midst of things we are not.   I take pieces of each of these views and form my own.   Creative Visualization is something that I dabble in when trying to sort out explanations.  We aren't just skin and bones but boundless amounts of energy.  We produce thoughts, feelings, requests that we send out into the universe, may we be conscious of it or not, and the universe sends us something back.  Sometimes it's not as apparent or handed over in a silver platter.  Sometimes it's in the verse of a song or in the book you just picked up by chance.  I still have more theories to pencil out and try to make sense of, but for the most part I deal with my experiences in such manners.   Life is a school where we get to practice, through the experiences we deal with, the process of remembering who we really are.  I've faced heartbreak, loss, love, and pain in my life.  At times thinking that I was never going to make it through.  I'm ten months into one of the greatest losses of my life so far. Yet, I  feel strong and prepared to deal with the rest.  I feel confidant, abundant, and willingly to shovel out the love and kindness that roots me to the stars, the universe, and if you wish, God.
Happiness isn't brought on by experiences, words, or circumstance.
It's a choice.
How will you see the things that come into your life?
How will you challenge  and question yourself and who do you get to be?

I am eternally blessed.
