most astounding part of your life for you?
When was the last time something proved you so wrong, you felt amazed - so amazed that there must be a god out there! (obviously I am not religious but you get the saying)
I am talking about the times where you either thought you wouldn't make it out alive, or things would never change? Then something came along that changed your whole perspective?
I'm interested

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
That's the first part. The necessary second part is when I apologize and take my lumps without fighting back.
Then, I had a phone conversation with my doctor. He had phoned me back cos he couldnt talk to me when I originally phoned up, and he wanted to before the appointment was made...and I left the house, so I would have privacy. It was POURING with rain, but I walked as I talked to him, and told him everything. And the appointment was made for a few days away. And when the conversation ended, I was absolutely soaked, but I was utterly delighted. I had to stop myself skipping home. I had a glimmer of hope, and I was no longer alone.
Good enough reason to believe in God? I think so!
The last post, awe, that's just so brightening.
I count these things as miracles. No matter how silly they seem to some, or how important - what happened to you that made you think is a gift. I believe anyway.
I have at least 10 if not 20% more hope in me - and that's huge considering I am so pessimistic about the world.
We all have our ups and downs, and things can happen out of the blue. But how can you explain those times where unspoken knowledge brings you closer together? Or you JUST survived from something that seemed so bad you couldn't get out of it.
Amazing. All of you. thankyou so much for your stories
I had the same experience when my sister was given her last rights 20 months ago. I'm not real religious, but I know there is something. Since my sister died I have pretty much abandoned any faith and replaced it with anger. I really need to get to a good place spiritually. I'm just too angry!!!!!!
