What a beautiful day it is, indeed! Things get better. Love the message, and love love love that you’ve reunited. I know that is the best feeling. Lots to be grateful for indeed!
Good on you MJ. This isn't the kind of wonderful that comes easy. Reading between the lines of what you've built back, years of your daughter gone, a grandbaby you never got to meet as they grew, standing on the sidelines while life happened without you, that's the cost of the mess you made. You don't sugarcoat it. You just buried it and kept throwing dirt.
Reconciliation like this doesn't announce itself. It just shows up one day without explanation, and you're smart enough not to interrogate it. You're just grateful. That's the mark of a man who knows he doesn't deserve a second chance but got one anyway. That's moving. I am at once envious and sincerely happy for you.
You know something could knock you off it tomorrow. You're up there now, and you're going to look at the view while you have it. Do that, friend. That's not optimism. That's survival married to humility. The kind of wisdom that only comes from losing everything once and understanding it could happen again.
Enjoy your Sunday Thanksgiving. You earned it the hard way.
Wow! What a story MJ. Real, true life with all that it entails. Hope you and your family have a wonderful celebration. Savor the time you have together. WaWW is my all-time favorite song. Simple and beautiful.
What a beautiful story of hope, redemption and reconciliation. As I think about that great song again, I'm struck by how the writer points to the little ordinary things that make the world wonderful. No wonder it's so hard to see when our attention is constantly monetized toward the mass scale existential crisis of every moment.
I hope your family gathering is a wonderful time of reunion and a first step toward renewed relationships long-term.
It doesn't feel like a wonderful day for me today and yet, reading your beautifully timed words just now have inspired me and given me strength to keep going...and the power of Let It Be.
I once received guidance from spirit as to what to do in a dilemma situation.
Your wonderfully written story struck a chord! I am happy that everything worked out for the best for you!
Thank you 🙏 Bill.

Thanks Marty! I have been humming and singing WaWW all week, it is wonderful. And boy, Louis’ smile makes me want to smile bigger too😁

Thank you Craig 🙏 I agree, if we don’t stay mindful it’s all to easy to get distracted by all the outside chatter.
What A Wonderful Write! Have a great day together 🙏❤️
It has been a wonderful day 🙏 Thanks Martine!

Hey MJ.

The response..." if in doubt...do nothing"
Learning more and more to surrender these days🏳
Thank you for the kind words Vivienne 🙏 I am thankful that this has aided in your rise today and wish you wellness of mind and body my friend 🤍
