A New Awakening

Hello to All!!
And hoping you all are are well.  Checked out a lot of the post and I couldn't reply to all the ones I wanted to.  Might have been here all day. biggrin  That's what I get for not checking in more often.

I wanted to share something with you.  Sometimes, one of the readings or mediations I read just won't leave me and I can't put my finger on what it is about the reading.  Anyway, the Daily Reflections for June 23 is still in my thoughts.  When I read it that morning I choked and teared up.  I searched, later, for something I might be holding back but couldn't find anything I needed to discuss with my sponsor.  It bothered me so much I went to a meeting and guess what I was ask to read?  Yeap, the Daily Reflections. smile  I almost didn't get all the way through it, because of the tears and shaking voice.  Okay, so now I listen for the message and it was a great meeting.  But, what's wrong with me?

The next day, in a meeting, a man was talking about what happens to him when he reaches acceptance of things, how just the mere fact that he understands can bring him to tears.  He said a new awakening.  Well, I'll be seeing my sponsor on Saturday and I'll share the rest of the story with her, but I felt the need to share with you too.

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing, Jane.

Sounds like you had a breakthrough on some level that perhaps you aren't even aware of yet.

How COOL is that???

Aloha Jane...great share!

I relate to it also mostly from the experience of feeling humbled and loved.
Yes too there are those feelings that bring tears also...the ones of loss and
frustration and powerlessness for the moment.  Gratefully (((((hugs))))) smile
