It has been a very hard year for many of us and it is about to close. We will soon wake up to a new time and new space, one of awakening or already awakened. I had been wondering where Christmas was as I watch the Tele of pain. The wicked truth surrounds us and if we do not close our eyes sometimes it will slowly feed upon our spirit like a vulture. I fell into a dark pit a few times this past year and I needed to be set free and I had no answer how to fix it. Financially we are screwed like the rest of the country but we have tried to still keep our spirits high. The past few weeks I have been looking for Christmas but it could not be found. You know the one you use to feel as a child.

Santa….Ho Ho Ho

Naaa

It was the family thing that made it what it was
And all the singing
Mistletoe hung above
I saw mommie and daddy kissing
I even got kissed
Such sweet moments of smiles once past that lasted for me just one day
It was enough to hold me over until next year
Can you smell the cookies that just came from the oven?
Mmmm they are so warm
Over stuffed Uncle Sam in the rocking chair
Whimsical magic dust filled the air
Not seen by grown ups who once believed

Well today I found Christmas. It knocked at my door very loud and it pierced my heart. The story I am about to share with you is true.

I was not feeling well today but I still went out and did what I needed to do. My final stop was the grocery store, so I get out of my car and get a cart. I walk through the front door and walk to the first isle and there was this woman with 4 small children. The mother was looking at the meat while her children were standing still and so well behaved. I could tell by the way she was shopping that she was being cautious and she simply then walked away from the meat section with her four children.

I finally get done shopping and I look at the isles to decide which one I was going to take. I never walk to the end isle to cash out because the door to leave is further away. All the cashier lights are lit and there were no lines. I then walked to the end isle which was furthest from the door. There stood before me was the same woman I saw in the meat section. Her little girl asked for a candy bar and her mother said calmly “no we can not afford this”. The woman had rice, beans, corn, bread and her cart had already had some groceries packed up. Before I knew it the words belted out of my mouth, add her groceries to my bill. Then it occurred to me, wait I might not have enough money then the thought slipped my mind. The cashiers mouth dropped and she said “are you sure”? I said yes I am sure. The woman with the four small children looked upon me and she began to weep. She walked up to me and embraced me with a hug so tight and I never felt so much love in a single moment like this before. As she cried to me she said “I don't know what I am going to do, I was just layed off and I need help but they are making me wait. She also added the warmest thank you. The cashier began to cry, a man standing in the next isle had tears in his eyes and once again before the woman leaves she said “I can not believe someone did something this nice for me.” She then gave me another hug and I began to cry and watched her leave as she said Merry Christmas to me. I found Christmas today and it touched me deeper than anything I have ever known. I have always been a giving person but my gifts are given to those who I believe need and yet they really don't and I always fail to see that truth.

I wish I had a million dollars
And if I did
I would still be broke
Because I would give it all away

Karma paid me a visit today. When I arrived at my home and unpacked my groceries I checked my mail and found my first sale on my art. I have cried 1000 tears in the past three years waiting for that first piece to be sold and it was today.

Not only that, in the past 2 days I have gained many new friends and they are all lovely writers and each one of them are amazing people, you all know who you are. I have been blessed beyond my dreams this week.

I hope by me sharing this special story touched you.
If you are feeling a little blue just try to put a smile upon your face because you never know who is waiting around the corner for you.

Sal I would like to thank you for opening me up. I needed just a little shove and you were the one to do it. I would like to thank my readers for sending in mail which I have used many times for my blog. I would like to thank all the people who support my work and believe in me. Thank you for your inspiring letters and comments on MySpace.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a New Year filled with more blessings then you have ever had before.

May angels always watch over you

With Love and Light
