Snow Globe

I once wrote that I felt like my life was a snow globe which had been shaken up. I felt so unsettled and unsure about where my life was going. I had an image of how I wanted it to be and I held on to that dream. Now that the "snow" is settling I have a different perspective on where I've been and where I am going. I believe my globe had to be shaken up in order to grow and move forward in my life. As difficult as it has been at times, I feel I have become wiser and more enlightened. I've become closer to my self and this higher magical energy in the universe.

I remember years ago thinking about this concept called "faith". I couldn't wrap my mind around it. I didn't understand it. I realize now that it can mean different things to different people. I get comfort from this word, concept or belief because it makes me feel "safe". When I think of the word "faith", It feels as though a warm fuzzy blanket has been gently wrapped around my body protecting me from the bitter cold.

I rarely doubt the people and/or experiences that come into my life now. I know it is all happening for some unexplained yet good reason. Is it a matter of how I perceive these things? I think partly so, yes. Have my positive thoughts about my world and life attracted peace and contentment? Sure! Why not? Is there some kind of invisible but powerful force guiding and protecting me? Maybe. It's possible.

I have come to learn that life is like one big snow globe. It can be constantly shaken up and snowing or the pieces may settle at times. But if you hold on to your faith it makes dealing with life a lot easier.
