A Life Well-Lived

[bluestocking79]

Life is still good, as it has been good, and (I hope) will continue to be good. The universe keeps throwing random benevolent things at me when I least expect them, for reasons that defy my understanding as yet, and I keep feeling quiet amazement that the world is such a strange and strangely beautiful place

The universe is throwing good things your way because you deserve them, and you're open to receive them.

I wish I knew Auntie D. I feel that I do, on some level, through you.

~hugs you~

You are too kind to me, Pokey. But I think you might be on to something about being open to receive things. There is something to be said for being open to life's possibilities, rather than having pre-set expectations.

Oh, I wish you'd been able to meet Auntie D. I am very, very, very certain that the two of you would have liked each other, because you share many of the same qualities. No wonder I like you both so much! <3

Thank you, Dreamy. She was indeed an amazing person, and I wish all of you could have known her, too.

This is an incredibly articulate and humane post, and your aunt sounds like quite a lady! She will be in my prayers tonight.

Thank you very much, Mary, both for remembering Auntie D in your prayers and for your kind words. This was in many ways a difficult post to write, but I feel better for having done it.

Aw sweetie. I'm glad you hounored Auntie D in the best way possible, by making whay should be a bad day into something beautiful and filled with laughter and happiness. I'm sure it's what she would've wanted. I bet she's smiling down now and laughing to herself at how much you've learned from her. Plaese do continue to learn from your anutie's memories and use them as part of your life 'cause she sounds like the most amazing woman xxx

Aw, thank you, sweetie! ~hugs~

Auntie D has definitely been an inspiration to me, and she always will be. I hope I'm doing her proud, but I'm quite certain that wherever she is, she's smiling. She usually was. :-)
