A good turn...

  • Isn't it interesting when you come to a point in your life and you realize that you have come so far, while simultaneously realizing you'd not noticed til just then?  How does that happen? Sometimes, we as people get so caught up in life that we forget how important we truly are as individuals.  While so busy worried about our families, our friends, our loved ones as a whole, sometimes we forget that we, as people, have to include OURSELVES as a part of that general heading called "loved ones."  But many of us don't.  Not saying that self-love is the MOST important.  But my Gramma always told me: "If you don't love you, how is anyone else supposed to?"  I have kind of forgotten this along the path at times...taking care of others has always been my priority.  Today...I did something for ME.  For MY self.  And incidentally, this decision for ME...is also well within the realm of taking care of others, helping others...and this makes it a two-fold positive venture.  I am so glad that I came here today, so glad that I sought this out.  I feel the warmth, the light here, so many welcoming faces, kind words.  I know I have taken a good turn.  I can't wait to share this with all of my loved ones, my coven, and even those I've yet to meet.  I have spent a great deal of my life pursuing the path that I have, educating myself both in and out of school, with and without books.  Life is a heck of a school in which to learn.  Now I feel like I will be able to start putting all my knowledge to work, spreading the joy, helping others to find their own paths.  I can't even wrap my head around the full concept of the decision I've made today, not just yet anyway.  But I can feel that this is definitely a good turn. 

     

    Well, that's all I really have to say right now, its late and sleep is calling.


    Be well, and Safe Journeys...and like my mom says, Goodnight Moon.
