Port in the Storm

     How do you handle the storm of emotions that sometimes sweep in like a tsunami who's strength is enough to be life altering?  If it was one emotion, easily managed and understood it would me so much simpler. Life though is not simple.  But the cacophony of  feelings is at once magical and terrifying. How can one heart hold things like love, longing, spite, bitterness, contempt, desire, lust, fascination, wonder and thank fullness without simply causing it to implode?
     I have decide that I am going to continue to leave all of the negative ones by the wayside and follow with abandon the ones that make me feel, feel good, feel alive! I am excited by the light that shines in my eyes again and the tripping of my heart in finally a calming way. I have found that gifts can come from the most unexpected places. The most unexpected times from the most unexpected people.
    I am thankful for the gift of light a friend has given me through my time of darkness. The fact that all that happiness came from someone I had the (wrong) impression had thought me "Satan's mistress" at one time makes me have faith that good things can come from anywhere. And I should be open to it at all times because you never know who will matter to you in the future. And who from your past end up meaning nothing at all?  Treasure things while you have them..... when its time to let go, let go softly... take a deep breath and step forward.  You never know who will be waiting with open arms and open heart to envelope you.

Be thankful for the blessings in your life. No matter where they come from.
