blindsided by joy

Best way to be blindsided - by joy!

When I wrote yesterday's posting that referenced letters from Mike & Mom, had no idea it was a life shifter.  Used the two tenderest notes from a small treasure trove of family letters to make a point that absolutely positively HAD to be made.  Mike spoke clearly from himself, Kerry, Peter & Mim;  Mom spoke for herself & all of us, which was everything.  

Wow...  After a lifetime for trying to come to terms with the woefully incomprehensible & pathetically unfathomable,  I write a posting & - out of the blue - decades family storm & strife were lifted off my shoulders, poofed away as if by magic. 

Actually, it was magic.  At least my definition of magic - when life works the way it was always meant to, ending up in the best for all.  

Bissfully blown away by the timing of family letters tumbling together as a collection, sending out into the dear void bits & pieces that spoke to me, the blessing of having the material ~ mindset ~ writing chops to distill heated words & convulsive rhetoric into four days of healing posts - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Friday.

We can get great educations, seek training, attend workshops & seminars & all manner of eye-, mind- & spirit-opening events, but when it comes to the most important changes in our lives, all we can do is prepare a way for A Greater Power to find a way to turn things around, help to set things right.

When we're blindsided by joy, gobswoggled by wondrous change, one thing remains to be done - offer up the most heart-felt thanks to the dear void & the amazing Universe & All That Is.
