An Eventful Week!

I have had an interesting week, with a mix of things.

To start with I have arranged a holiday;  it is organized and paid for.  I think I will need it along the track. I also received the editorial opinion of my manuscript, White Balloons.  I was thrilled with the comments, but for now have been asked to keep them under wraps.

It was also the third anniversary of my husband's passing on Wednesday. I didn't know what to expect, as with me and what I believe, anything is possible. One thing I did know, was that I would feel peaceful, because this is the way I feel completely now.

The day started serenely, and I remembered my loved one, while I did some chores. Then the phone rang, and it was my close friend. We have shared a lot over the past three years, and as you will read in my story, she was bereaved about the same time as me. We talked for an hour and a half, about nothing much. We do this easily, as each understands how the other feels, and afterward I felt so grateful for having her journeying with me.

I had an appointment, and was rushing around, when a song on the radio took my attention. It was Somewhere over the Rainbow, and then immediately followed another, Fields of Gold.  I knew that I was meant to hear these??

Then in the afternoon, I wondered if it was too late to have flowers delivered to my beautiful daughters ... to remind them that I was thinking of them.  I was told that the courier had finished for the day. I was really disappointed, as now I am clear, I can see how hard it was for them losing their father.

I decided to buy them a special gift instead, but God had other ideas ...  As I entered the shopping centre, I was approached by an elderly lady, with gentle blue eyes. She asked me if I would support the homeless ... and I did ... I gave the amount that I was prepared to spend on my daughters.

Later that day I told them the story, and they were sooo pleased. I realized then that they didn't need any reminding of how much I care, and they have all they need now to be happy.

I know that I was guided to do this, and I know who guided me ...
