Love and miracles....

I 've been quiet for awhile.  Not by choice.  I had computer issues, so I couldn't write.  I really missed my time in front of the computer.  This blog has a great deal of meaning for me.  I hope it holds meaning for my audience too.  I spent quite a bit of  time worrying about how I would continue.  I spent even more time worrying about other issues.  My small apartment...or more accurately efficiency...started to have problems.  My electricity on one whole side of the unit went out.  The plumbing in the bathroom wasn't working.  And things weren't getting fixed.  If I'd been depressed, this type of situation with problem piled on problem would have sent me into a spiral.  It didn't.

I found solutions.  I experienced the miracle of love and generosity.  My very sweet friend Michelle provided the spark.  She reminded me that I could make the choice to move on and find new housing. In spite of my fears that I couldn't do it, I did.  We worked together to find a place.  With the result that I found the perfect place in my price range.  It is beautiful and in wonderful shape.  I'm moving in this week.  It really does feel like a miracle.  Especially since I had many needs, most importantly that it needed to be close enough to work so that I could walk.  I had to deal with a lot of my fears in order to do this.  The support from friends helped me to walk through them. My support system at work helped.  Lorraine and Dawn actively helped.  Everyone else acted as cheerleaders.  They have all actively shown their intention to help.  Now, I know no complication will prevent my moving forward because of the tsunami of support.

So what happened with the computer problem?  My boss, no less, solved that problem.  I am using an IPad that he doesn't use to write this article.  I was extraordinarily touched by his generosity.  He has helped me to reaffirm my decision to publish.  You see, I have learned something here.  Love and support make the mountains that hold you back into molehills.  Of course, not all problems are so easily solved.  But knowing the miracle of love and support makes it much easier to face the uncertainty of the future.  As I look forward to a wonderful holiday season...I am very grateful.  Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I really feel the gratitude at this moment.  What about you?  I wish you a wonderful holiday.  All my love...
