Do you ever have those rare moments of clarity? When everything seems so clear that you wonder why you didn't see it before? You realize life is not meant to be figured out...just lived. In that one second you feel like the wisest person in the entire world and wonder if anyone before you had those same thoughts. It's short lived, like a dream that's interrupted by some late night phone call that you know can never bring good news. There before you....all the answers of the universe, just making you wish you had a photographic mind. Take a picture...it lasts longer.
Today, as my husband was making a left hand turn, I looked out my side window to see a car hurtling toward us. In such a hurry. Such a god awful hurry to get to where? Work? Children to pick up from school? Perhaps they were late for a meeting? Late getting home? Was their wife already sobbing with worry? It was 3 o'clock. My doctor's appointment was at 3. I was late. That car was so fast but just when I thought it was going to hit...it never did. Vanishing from my sight until I had to turn my head to even see it as it flew past in a blur. Then it happened...a moment of clarity!
My husband loves me....not just the mushy type of love that comes around just on Valentine's Day or at the end of some incredibly romantic date but the true...ever lasting type of love. The kind of love that says...Let's grow old together. Let's die in our nursing homes together...holding hands. He'd never let anything happen to me. He loves me. I'm very lucky.
A moment of clarity, all the answers right there in that 30 second span and the only piece of information I can recall is knowing deep down in my bones that I am truly blessed. I might be in debt, have a few health problems and be stuck in a job I dislike and in a state that I swear I never want to die in...but I am blessed. He loves me. So do all of you.
And here I have been lamenting my life for the last few months when all the answers I needed was given to me in 30 seconds.
A moment of clarity.
I love you guys!

It is amazing how the people who love us the most, are often right there all the time, and we never really know it, or show it.
Glad you had one of those awareness moments that make life seem to be the gift that it is.......
Hope you have a wonderful weekend. -
Beautiful entry, my friend!
It's so good to see that you made a entry. I have had several people email me, and ask about you. Fortunately, I was able to let them know, after getting your email. I hope that you will grace us with your presence more often, Raven. You are such a gifted writer, and are so loved here in Jland..
I miss you my friend.. and.. I'm so glad that car didn't actually hit you guys!
Hugs,

Just making my way slowly through J-Land, can't stay on long because of my neck. Wanted to stop in & say hi.
