Wow! Thank you for sharing those photos and your experiences at the glass museum. Those glass photos are breathtaking. The first one especially had an affect on me. It felt like the souls reaching up and away from this life to the next dimension/life after death. The second one did remind me in a way of almost a "fetus" in a womb.
I think most of us want to know if we have a purpose and if so, what that is.
I've seen angels and seen "spirits/ghosts" and I've experienced things that have made me realize there is definitely a life after this one. I've had a past life regression, past life reading, etc. I've had a medium talk to my dead mother (one of the most wonderful experiences for me).
My late friend Sue (psychic /medium) told me that my husband and I have always been together in many lifetimes. She said he was always there to protect me and that in a previous life, she claimed that I was Anastasia Romanoff and that he was my guard assigned to protect me. (I don't know if this is true about Anastasia, however the day she told me this I was reading her book, had just watched a movie about her and she told me this while pulling into a street called "Anastasia Blvd" when making a wrong turn to turn around.)
I often wonder what I'm supposed to learn in this life and what I'm supposed to give. Sometimes I feel like I'm just working, eating, sleeping, waking and doing it all over again and then I feel like "isn't there more?". But I believe too that this lifetime is so short, like a blink of an eye in our souls eternity that even if we only learned one small lesson, that perhaps that was all it took. Perhaps we made one person feel better or helped someone in a time of need and that's all that was needed. Off to the next assignment someday!
Thanks again Bluebell! ?
Just want to thank you all for your prayers and support. My eye surgery was successful, according to my doctor. My right eye probably won't be as sharp as I was hoping, but that's fine. I'm very grateful for the gift of sight. I was very concerned about a number of strange symptoms I had post-op, but my doc said everything I told him was normal. (Although they could have warned me ahead of time to expect those after-effects!)
For those sensitive to meds (and even if you aren't): I'm on an eye drop that gives me funky side effects. My doctor recommended that after inserting the drop, I press both sides of the bridge of my nose, right between the eyes, for about 5 minutes. He said it allows more of the drop to stay in the eye and do what it's supposed to do, and less to escape and affect you systemically.
Lots of love to all of you. ❤️
While I’ve been trying to improve my health, I’ve also been dealing with a senior dog and cat. I’ve had thumping in my chest, so I’ve gone off Green Tea Extract, B6 and a third one I don’t recall right now. I’ve also gone off Cymbalta as I had increased Paxil and it seems that the 2 antidepressants at the same time can be a problem.
The dog seems stable right now, but our 16 year old cat seems to be in kidney failure.
Many tests yesterday over 4 hours. There was virtually no hope that Rocky would ever make it past January, even with heroic actions. Because we leave for 4 days on Tuesday, we have planned to give Rocky the best weekend we can, and have him euthanized on Monday. I have a tendency to go too long with our animals. I’m not good at letting go. Rocky’s down to 11 pounds after most of his life around 18.
This is always tough to do. I hope I’m doing the right thing. Meanwhile, my heart pounds. I took a Xanax, but it’s mostly just making me tired....
Anita
I’m so sorry to hear about Rocky; I can hear how much you love him. I had to put my doggie to sleep, and it is so hard.
It does sound like you are dealing with lots of stress and anxiety; and yes, xanax can make you feel tired. Losing your pet can definitely increase your stress; so please take care of yourself during this hard time
Thank you. We have dogs 10, 11, and 12. 9 of them have passed away. And this is our 3rd cat. He has been such a sweet one.
@Anita - Scroll up and you'll see I'm dealing with similar cat issues... I literally feel your pain. You are doing the right thing, though. 2 years ago, our 13 year old hound had been suffering with hyper-adrenal disease, and other issues, and we had to go out of state for a family function. We knew she would only probably have a few more weeks anyway, so we did what you're doing, gave her a great weekend. I even took her for a long walk in her favorite park right before we went to the vet, and then I returned her ashes to the base of one of her favorite trees in that same park.
As for Arlo - I have a non-update update. He's holding his own. I'm spoiling him rotten, but he's had no further neurological episodes, is not in pain and is still living his best life. I did speak with a special vet who does home euthanasia, so that when the time comes she'll know who we are.
Something new: they can return your pet's ashes in a Bio-Urn - you bury it in your yard, apparently it has flower seeds in it. I like that idea very much...
Thank you, Laura. I like the idea of the bio urn. It’s tempting, but I don’t know if we will ever move. We have a lot of urns with the kids. Only 2 aren’t . I have had palpitations all week and not read all of your post yet. But I will now. Thank you.
My brother-in-law went to the hospital a few days ago not feeling well and found out he had congestive heart failure. He was doing well and about to be released when he had a stroke yesterday. Fortunately he had it in the hospital and it was witnessed by my sister who immediately summoned for help. He was able to receive the appropriate medication right away which is a huge blessing.
He is currently in ICU and they are hopeful him cognitive functioning will continue to improve. He has passed the "swallow test".
My sister is very scared. They have 2 teenage children and my brother-in-law is currently the breadwinner of the family after she recently gave up her profession after dealing with some health issues herself. If you could send him healing love and light as well as his family I would greatly appreciate it.
I just did a healing meditation. I saw a big image of the Sun with a smiling face shining onto him. Never seen that before. Then I felt a lot of healing energy surrounding him.
my heart and love go out to each and every one of you. For those who are dealing with animals, I know you will do the best thing for them. Someone once said, don't make their last day on earth their worst day - we all hold on as long as we can, but we know when it's time.
