|  The Change :
About a year after my girl passed and our 3 kids had for the most part settled back into their everyday groove, I decided it was time for a little work on me.A few years ago I had read a story on meditation and liked what it had to offer.There's a place about 5 miles FROM WHERE I LIVED called DENISE HILL. Its an old stone house that sits atop of this huge mountain,and on a clear day you can see over 7 valley's into another state, It's just amazing. Well every Saturday for the next year that's where I would sit and meditate. It was profound.Things that I thought were acceptable to me , were not even close to how I wanted to live my life.So I started rearranging things,deleting things and made my personal relationship with my GOD even stronger than it had already been.I stopped believing in religon and became spiritual.The best thing that happened that year was I finally got to know and partally understand who tim really was.All those years of always being with someone else prevented from doing so. (I don't think I was ready anyway).Today I pretty much know who I am, what I expect from myself and readied myself to laugh at the majority of stupidity in the world today.I also know what I want in my next relationship if I so choose to get into another one. All in all, It took a lot of hard work and some tears to become the person I am today. I can look at myself in the mirror and like who I see. Sure I will make a lot more mistakes in the time I have left here , but that's ok i'm only human. |

I love your description of the stone house on the mountain, I feel like I'm there with you. Where I live we have what I call "the top of the world hill" that overlooks the hills and valleys as they roll down to the bay, and it never fails to take my breath away. That is my "grounding place" too, where all the problems in the world seem to fade away in the beauty before me. Hugs

Ann, Thanks so much for reading this.Id like to see the place at the top of the world, it sounds AWSOME. As far as finding my GOD, I think what was happening was I was trying to follow too many rules. This sec had their set of rules,while the others had theres.Until I realized it was my understanding of my god,things then got soooo much better.Instead of looking for the big bang, I started listening for all the little pops instead. |
