digdug, thank you for sharing this important event in your life...

For me, it solidified my believe that there is more going on then we realize--behind the scene so to speak. There is no absolute proof of it, but things like this sure do make ya stop and think!
There were too many coincidences to make it a natural progression. Did it have an feeling of whoa, something is going on that is scary but I'm grateful?
I hope so--things like this can plant seeds necessary for an attitude adjustment...at least it works that way for me.
Shoot, I get so involved in trying to make sense of it that my original purpose/action pales while I dissect What Just Occurred. (being easily distracted has its perks)

My gut feeling doesn't run to thoughts of cherubs protecting me. I don't like cherubs. I do like the idea of intelligent beings calmly putting up those roadblocks.
Will I ever move beyond this realm and be one of those beings? Perhaps. I'm not getting entangled in something that has no answer...I have hopes and the desire to move beyond some of my selfish ways but it doesn't mean that I will.

Weird litmus test for me. Would I freely give my chocolate to another person...that person may be hungry or just in need of a treat.
No, I'm not being funny...I love chocolate enough that I have to ration it.
It would be an act of love for me to not share it, but to give the whole darn thing to them. The nearest I've come is secretly licking it before giving it away...lol

It's just my way, but I cannot make blanket decisions about these things...it's one thing at a time. I'm not heading for sainthood or any type of accolades, so that means there will be times I won't share, I'll be cranky if you ask, and I'll fly away if you pick at me.
**Gasp!** I'm human
I do my best to be kind and helpful, but I will not be a doormat.
