No Soulmate, but Not Solo

After mentioning him in Monday's post, I felt like I should share with you my heart....my son!

The Carefree Kid of high school years...in one of his loves, his old Silverado

Mr. Handsome and Hardworking of nowadays...

His other love the first day he learned to drive it.

His buddy Ninja Kitty...

and other buddy Leo...

The dogs who worship him - Barky and Layla

His favorite place - Destin, FL

The one and only pic he took in Nashville 2 weeks ago...he has a romantic heart.

My favorite picture of him and his favorite gal - waiting to go in to see Wicked!

Good kids are hard to raise in this world and I have been blessed with a GREAT one. 

Someone asked me today if I have met my soulmate or believed in such.  I thought about the question.  I know I spent 20 years trying to MAKE someone my soulmate.  Funny how that just doesn't work.  

I pretty much have the suspicion that I have missed Life's train stop or layover where I was suppposed to meet my soulmate.  I was too busy with my head in the sand.  However, I realized today that it's ok and I will be very happy even if I do not ever find Mr. Right.  The reason is because my son and his future family are enough to "complete me."  I may be missing my soulmate, but my heart is a handsome and a terrific guy who will one day have an awesome family...and THAT makes my soul happy!

(Poem borrowed from the book, The Children of the Law of One and the Lost Teachings of Atlantis, which I highly recommend. It’s one of the most important books I have ever read, and made a huge impact on the expansion of my consciousness.)

“It is most sublime when the coming together of soul-mates is the outcome of spiritual development, and they are of higher consciousness. Let go of your desire for, and attachment to woman or man right now, and concentrate on finding the God-within-You first. First and foremost be your own Soul-mate, your own Helpmate… totally in love with and devoted to Yourself – Your Spirit – the God within you that you are… Then, and only then, after you have become attached to that God-The Universal One that you are, and found inner and outer harmony and become “in love with” and devoted to Yourself- not as a separate identity, but connected to and at One with the Universal Spirit, will those who should be with you in Oneness of Spirit, be with you in the universal harmony that you are imagining.”

Dragonflies Lead the Way

I started this collection of stories, ideas, thoughts, ramblings, etc. on a Tuesday.  Wednesday morning I had a wretched time getting dressed and just plain getting myself together.  As I miserably headed to work, I stopped to get some breakfast.  While I sat in the drive-thru lane, grumbling in my head about my morning and the upcoming day, a dragonfly appeared and buzzed all around the front and top of my car.  I froze.  Then, as I was already amazed, a second joined him and they sat side by side on my windshield.


In case the name of my blog missed you entirely, I will explain that I love dragonflies.  The name dragonfly conjours up monstrous (dragon) tinyness (fly.)  Their double set of wings work in tandem as a set, yet each set independent of the other.  Their whole body has a luminescence of lovely colors and the translucence of their wings is incredibly fairy-like.  That something so fragile looking can be so strong and fast is one of nature's enigmas.


Let me sidetrack and tell you that I have recently ended a short bout of therapy.  I was going to say "finished," but are you ever really finished with therapy?  It was a good introspection to take now that I am turning 46...kind of a mid-life tune-up of the psyche.  Guess I'm good for another 45 years or expiration date unknown.  Oh, wait, therapy comes with no warranty - shucks!  So, therapy recently, hence the journaling habit has stuck, thus leading to starting this blog. 


Back to the crappy morning, two dragonflies on my windshield while I'm in a Krystal's drive-thru, nowhere near any kind of body of water as a dragonfly would like... Now, some people would say that it's summer and so what? It could happen.  Yeah, and it did.  But, I was running late and what if I had been on time?  No dragonflies.  What if, being late, I skipped breakfast?  No dragonflies.  What if I went to McDonald's instead of Krystal's?  No dragonflies.  Do you see what I'm getting at?  Think what you want, but those dragonflies told me this...
         *There are 2 of us, just in case you think seeing 1 is just a fluke.
         *Yes, we are a sign to you to get your mind off that "woe is me" attitutude this
           morning. We are a sign that you need to smile, like you are right now watching us, 
           and wake up to the wonder & beauty of today!
         *We are also a sign that "Of Dragonflies and Passersby" is the right journey.  We are 
           literally dragonflies that are passing by - what more of a sign do you need?


In reading this it strikes me that I may need to go back to therapy because I'm listening to dragonflies. -humor- But, Reader, you know what I mean.  We all have some type of higher power we believe in, trust in, seek...God, Buddha, Mother nature, yourself, etc.  Mine is a combination of God using nature.  I believe yesterday God used two dragonflies to get my attention.  I also believe it was His sign that this blog endeavor will help me see, share, experience more wonder and beauty in my life.


Thanks for joining me!
