On many an occasion I have experienced the Universe showing me the opposite of what I have (usually with great cynicism) accepted as a general truth.
Just recently I have felt isolated and alone - very insecure in my own "shell", "sphere", or perhaps you could say "space". No-one's fault but my own, I fully admit. I allowed negative influences to drain my spirit, and it became a self-perpetuating circle of negativity that just wrapped itself around me and wouldn't let go.
I know that much of it had to do with the op, and that my fears were feeding on themselves. But all in all it made for a much more difficult time than I perhaps would have experienced. Mind, the fear would have been there regardless, so I'm only hypothesising here!
However. My point. (I know, after all of that, there had to be a point!) I began to believe that I was wrong - that I had been wrong about people all along.
Okay, for those who don't know me, I'll explain a little.
I'm one of those people who can only see the good in others. I'm the person who will believe that you're a nice person, even when all evidence points to the contrary. I have always believed, wholeheartedly, in the general goodness, decency and compassion of other people.
But someone had shaken this belief. And it takes a lot to shake this one - it comes in the genes, you see, handed down from my father.
Well, okay. In truth, I suppose I allowed this belief to be shaken. But I was shown, today, how very wrong I have been.
Look:
The basket of flowers, balloon and chocolates (that are out of shot, unfortunately, but really wanted you to love the colours of the flowers!) were delivered today. They were sent by everyone with whom I work. Aren't they beautiful?
I am humbled; not only by their wonderful generosity, and obvious caring, but by the Universe in showing me that I was wrong to doubt myself.
This is one of those few occasions where I am admitting I was in the wrong. And very glad to be so!
