Statement Retraction

Not very long ago I made the statement "I wish I were normal..." I wished I were just like everybody else and wasn't so sensitive. I wished I could watch abused animal commercials or animals being eaten in the wild without my chest tying up into knots, I wished I could just go to work everyday without feeling that life was slipping by, I wished I didn't feel that internal nagging that there was more to life...I wished, I wished, I wished....

And why all this wishing? Because I was getting tired of people telling me "what's wrong with you"-this is all there is in life so just accept it. Stop dreaming, toughen up, you're just sickly, too sensitive, too quiet, too morbid, too negative, too, too, too....

I know now that all along my angels and guides tried desperately to give me little signs and I ignored them all or chalked them up to coincidence. I didn't believe in them after all. But I've read that angels are assigned to assist you in your life's journey. They're allowed to help but only if you ask. But there's a running joke in my household. That my angel is sort of a trouble maker. And although he means well, has a tendency not to follow the rules to the letter so being this little troublemaker, he was assigned to me. And this angel led the team that tried to get my attention. Until he got fed up....and 'sucker punched' me. I fell flat on my ass...stunned. And I listened....

Here I am a year later and I'm retracting my statement. I am eternally grateful that I am NOT normal. I was given this amazing gift to appreciate the world. I was just looking at life through the wee holes in a blindfold. Thank goodness my inner compass knew there was more. And through blog-land I have found others like me. Those that appreciate humanity, nature, spirituality and know that there is definitely more to life. And aren't afraid to go after it.

I know there's nothing wrong with me because I'm on the right path now....

Thanks Angel for making me listen
