I pray, it seems to be working
« on: October 15, 2011, 03:41:24 pm »
[i really wasn't sure where to put this, feel free to move/delete if its in the wrong place]

Of late my life has taken a seriously positive kick, after the worst year of my life where i came as close as I ever have to ending it.

I've prayed regularly to the Gods that speak to me and feel closest to me and have found that at the very least its theraputic and leaves me feeling positive, I paint what i think they look like, call them by names that feel right, dedicate tree planting and environmental work to them and have tattoos dedicated to them. I pray sometimes in Irish but largely in English so as to better explain myself. My path is still changing as i learn more about life and myself.

Basically i've come out of the worst year of my life which included loosing my job, girlfriend, suffering a serious breakdown and literally having my life saved. Now i find myself with the chance of an internship i would love, a woman who understands the mental illness problems i deal with every day and friends i thought i'd driven away.

Someone is watching over me, aren't they? is basically what i'm getting at, I think...

There's always someone watching over you :) Life can be real rough sometimes. Stay strong and come out the other side of the rough patches. Looking back, I know that in times in my life when things have absolutely sucked big time, I often feel like I was meant to go through them so that I would learn something. Bad times pass, but you gotta muster up the courage to keep chipping away at them and making changes until you find happier paths.

There often seems to be -- which is probably one of the most convincing arguments for the existence of something "supernatural".

I don't have much to add other than good on you for holding on and coming out the other side. I've had a very hard few years myself and I'm still trying to come out of it. You give me hope.

 Hi Ruadan, I'm glad you are here.. I think that we are watched over, I am 61 and I am amazed that I am still here. As I look back on my wonderful journey I can honestly say I have been guided thru my life and brought thru many great things and many terrible things. Most of my own making. It took a serious illness to help me make sense of it all, but I am so grateful for that illness, I think the Goddess decided to shake me up to wake me up. You are young, nothing is as bad as it may seem at the moment, give the problem 24 hours and you will see the problem differently. I envy your youth, you have so much more time to be on your path, make a difference in your world, and just breathe. Love, laugh, cry, but enjoy it all, it makes you the very special person you are.                       Have a blessed life, Luna.
