This free time I now have has been such a blessing. I am experiencing so many understandings and I am able to free my spirit of such heavy burdens; it's amazing. I don't mean to sound all spaced out but truly, it feels like this. For example, I was on my way to the Colombian Restaurant for my morning cafe con leche when it dawned on me, that I needed to wish my naysayers well. I needed to pray for their happiness and health and good life. I had the urge to do this before and simply could not. I couldn't form a good thought in my mind for them, much less speak it. I know it's terrible, but it's true. I didn't wish them bad, but I didn't wish them well. I just wanted to forget they existed.

This time when the nudge came I was able to actually do it. I was able to pray for their good health and happiness. There are only three people in the world I feel like this about and all three I was able to give my prayer to freely without ill will with good vibes and good intentions. I have to say, I felt so light after, so happy and relieved, and what's strange is I didn't know I was feeling burdened with it until I let it go and truly meant it. And I wasn't able to let to go until I was ready. What made me ready, I don't know, but what I do know is that if I was still in an unhappy situation, I wouldn't have been open to this blessing. I am so grateful that it found me.
