Mid Life Rabbit Hole...

As I travelled hundreds, and hundreds of miles, these last couple of weeks....I did much Soul Searching... and...a lot of laughing...drinking, running... crying and 'sorting'...{and...not getting much sleep..}It was a 'God Thing'...{some think a pill will cure me...nope...only walking through this journey, will the lessons be learned.... I have learned a lot, just the last couple of weeks....actually...the last couple of years...}
Sounds strange, I know... would you expect any less...from a Mad Hatter?
Sweet, Amy, has shared with me, the theory of 'God Winks'.... I'm getting a lot better, at seeing them, as they occur...
 I've considered closing the store.... stop blogging...shut myself in, and away from people...really...quit the things, I have loved the most....seems, they have brought me more suffering, than joy, lately...my actions, and behavior, has tested, my dearest friends...it's been interesting, as I look back... who has loved me, stood by me, and accepted me... anyway...{and...the other way, too...another 'God Wink'...and...that's another Journey...} {no worries...I may be Crazy...but...I have not broken any Commandments...{The Seven Deadly Sins....workin' on it...}well...I may have slipped... with the swearing.... and...I did work, last Sunday...but...God's Word...was right there...along with sharing some of the lessons I have learned... }
I have learned...Judge Not...Lest You, be Judged...Life is Short... and we should find Happiness, where we can... Speak Honestly...with Kindness, and Gentleness...and Love, One Another...No One...is perfect...and...There is Good in Everyone... try walking in their shoes...or...Carrying Their Cross... it may be mighty heavy...{I tend to put folks on a pedistal, when I love them.... a mistake...even the ones I Love... fall, once in a while...}
No one, really knows, what is turning in another mind...
I am very Thankful, for Everything...and...to those who Love me...no matter how far Down the Rabbit Hole, I have fallen....

As Michael was preparing to leave...we stood inside the Shop...I said..."Don't you just love the feeling, in here... it envelops you.... a comfort, that surrounds...embraces you..."... he agreed....{he has witnessed some 'God Moments', as well...in the Shop...{I'd write about them...but you wouldn't believe it...you have to be here...} So...I  don't know what I'd do without the Little Shop...... and my writing.... well... I enjoy it, and the comments and e-mails... the folks I have met, through it,{and the Shop} has been another 'God Wink'...
The moral to this story, is...I think I have made it through the mist...and, instead of trying to hang on to the first part of my Journey....I'm ready for the next....
Love to You...
