365 Equals 180
At first I wasn’t sure what to say or how to express the pain & hurt. That filtered into anger & words reflected that with epic precision. I had poured so much energy into a dead dream that made everything feel empty & pointless. The ironic thing is, I got what I asked for. Last April I stopped asking the universe for vague generalities & started a list of specifics that became something of a daily mantra. I was looking for answers to moving my current relationship forward. Instead my questions allowed for the receipt of information in May which led me to end what had become a lie. Even in the face of what felt like the worst thing that had ever happened to me, I vowed to pull myself up & move on to the something better that was waiting. A few weeks later, I was presented with a bright light. She seemed to be the genuine article & very much what I had been asking for in my life. It felt like it was way too soon, but I stepped forward cautiously into it with the faith that it was for a reason. There were so many commonalities it felt wrong to walk away out of fear. So I tentatively moved forward with each day continuing to include her in them. We began to fall into place as though it was the plan all along & perhaps it was. I think sometimes we must see the worst to be able to understand what the best can be. Almost a year later, we are still together. She lives here at RnBoW house now & we are building a life, a home. I wrote one year ago today that I was of the good and right. That one day I would be in the pot at the end of the rainbow. That day has most certainly come!

Blessings, Rainbow. I wanted to tell you that what you have written on this theme, now and originally, has been the only experience I have read that I have truly been inspired by in relation to how our lives can really change from shadow into light. I think this has been because of the authenticity of how you have related your experience of anguish being turned into that Light, which, I am certain, reflects the nature of your spirit. You do not write in worn out platitudes, whether on this or anything else, but in genuine terms. Your words, how you related the things that were and which had begun to change, gave me also a strength in looking toward that Wellspring during the last year and a half of intense darkness in my own life and energies spent for naught. I began to see what is possible more reflectively than I had been able to before.
I am so very, very pleased that your life is now on a true and happy course and prosperous in love, in life work, in flourishing creatively and yes, in growing your fabulous garden blossoms as well.
It is good to be able to breathe deeply once again. I think I am almost there in my own life and times.
Blessings, my Friend~:sunny:
I am so very happy for you and yours!

Happy Anniversary to you both! I'm so happy for you. :goodjob:
Congrats my dear friend I am so happy for you and for both of you. When I get down I can close my eyes and feel your smile which helps me defeat the darkness that tries to envelope me. So shine on and know your happiness is contagious... you have ... good 'cooties'. :laugh:
Thank you for sharing this. What a great validation of the power of thought. Happy Anniversary!
Oh girl I am so happy for you and yours. I know it is a result of you creating the life you wanted. I pray it continues in the most exciting and marvelous of ways. Judi
It's odd but it seems that even through the darkness, the pain, comes good.. i guess we just open ourselves up to a better understanding of self...and when we do that light enters in...have to tell you though it made me think of Dorothy's quote, "if ever i go looking for my heart's desire again, I won't look any further than my own back yard."....:)
Lovely story. Thanks for sharing.
That is simply awesome! I am so happy for you! I haven't been here in a long time. I'm never on xanga anymore but I felt the urge to come and read today. I happy I did! Your story is a true example of the outcome of when people tell you "Don't worry. It will get better. You will find the right one!" after you have been let down.
Keep smiling and loving...oh and send me some gardening tips! LOL! I am trying to learn gardening this year because Sharon and I are looking to buy a house in Maine and I want it to have a nice yard.
