As I stand here bathed in light
after being lost in the darkness
of grief and mourning
for what seems like years-
everything glitters, and
each day is a magical gift.
I don’t say ‘lost’ lightly.
Nobody, absolutely nobody,
knew just how dangerously close
I was to my edge, the end of me.
I was getting in my car to go home
to carry out my plan
when my phone dinged
just a quick text conversation-
but for four well-placed words
that made me laugh hysterically
through tears,
and think that
if I can still laugh
all is not lost,
I would not be here.
That moment,
that life-changing,
lightning strike,
realization that
I will be okay,
was magical.
It preceded a week of
personal growth at the speed of light,
magical, ethereal, spiritual, glittery
that is still difficult to comprehend.
To that person,
I owe the deepest debt of gratitude.
Thank you.
You pulled my ass back.
G-d showed me,
through the kindness of another,
that
I am strong
I will be okay
and I am worthy!
XO Lisa

Lisa, as I read this amazing post, this came to my mind:
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.
It sounds like that was the work of the Lord, prompting someone to reach out at just the right time! I’m so thankful that you are still here, and that I got to meet you here on WP! You are definitely worthy and loved my friend! Hugs!
