power of love

Today I was moved beyond measure.

In my class we are together for 4 hours 5 days a week, sometimes more. This can create bonds, drama and ultimately buttons can be pushed. Recently the group has had a lot of issues. But today one of our classmates announced that he was dropping out  because of his medical condition. Crying in front of the class, he told us that this was the first place where he felt loved and accepted. At that point the whole class got up and crowded around him and gave him a group hug. It was so moving to see everyone joining together to show this young man that he was treasured in this group.

I hope that he gets better and that our group can put our issues aside and support each other like we supported him today.

blessings

Things dont go the way you want them. thats life. it sucks.

HOWEVER ...... if you take a step back and look beyond the pain that is in front of our face you may see what blessings are being bestowed upon you.

The past couple days, I have been sick. It started with a cough, went to my sinuses (like all my bad colds do) and it turned into me having violent coughing attacks- coughing up chunks of mucus from my lungs. Yes, CHUNKS. gross. uck.

I was able to stop coughing just long enough to receive  a blessing. An hour later my lungs felt clear but my nose was running non stop. Although I felt worse, I know I will get better faster than if I hadn't had the blessing done.

So, in short, I am thankful for the blessings and how cruddy I feel right now. I know it will get better.
