Good morning @outlander and @oceangirl - thanks for asking after me.
I am doing quite well - just feeling a little tired due to being busy all the time more than likely. Can't complain as life is very good at the moment.
My friend experienced a miracle in hospital - even his wife was amazed and stated that, as well as the doctors. So he is coming home - just a few days ago they were asking him he he wou,d accept life support. We all prayed so hard so we are all feeling so very grateful. Hopefully this will give him some more time with us.. My daughter found the job too high pressured (sales meeting quotas, being yelled on the phone, etc) - it was bringing out her anxiety very badly (she is still recovering from rape). But she will look for another job that is not as pressured.
I know you like my stories so here is another. You may have heard of many near death experiences (there have been scientific studies conducted on them - one feature of this that is documented is having ones life play out before them whilst experiencing NDE - (Life flashing before ones eyes). You probably would of heard about this before.
I have had this experience of life flashing before my eyes before being revived (amongst others). It's like a mirror is put before you and you see your true self - there is no hiding from this reflection and no one to protect - we strand and face it alone. All the good we have done or neglected to do and everything we have done throughout our lives and how this affected others for the better or worse is all revealed and we see who we really are;, nothing is missed. And there is no escaping this reality. No one to support. We stand alone. If it is mainly good - no worries, if it is not and people were damaged by our actions/words - it can be tormenting.
It was an experience that I will never forget (positive for me but scary to see what could have been if I made other choices). So for me it is so important to be real, honest, moral and kind, to help others to the best of my ability and hurt no one through anger, jealousy, ego, vindictiveness etc as it comes back to bite (there is justice in the end) - can't emphasis that enough. Having a free conscience is everything to me, not for just that reason - it makes me who I am with meaning, inner peace and fulfillment.
Glad you liked my artwork - I am passionate about it and gain much happiness creating them. Hope you are both doing well and life is going okay for you. You are good people @outlander@oceangirl and I alway enjoy conversing with you. Thanks for thinking of me.
