My life was not funny today.  I try to take the lighter side of life as much as possible.  I truly attempt to see the silver lining in every situation- and I always succeed.  Even today I can see that all is working out for my highest and best good.

But today, my life was not funny.  Instead it was sad.  It was sad to me to watch another human being so unaware of the consequences of words.  Today I felt sad when I had to tell my children that aggression is real, and it is not ok, but sometimes we still have to encounter it.  Today I felt sad when I saw the conflicted emotions on their faces as they realized that sometimes life doesn’t make sense.  Today I did not feel funny.  Today all I felt was sad.

My most favorite friend in the world told me that I didn’t look sad.  Instead I looked like I was trying to be ok. Strangely, I never did muster up a cry.  It just sat in the back of my throat all day like a lump.  I struggled to stay present.  I talked out loud to myself to remind myself that all is well, all is in Divine Order, that I am my True Self, and so on and so forth.  I believe these words from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul.  But still I have to say that life was not funny today.  Instead it was sad.

And even so, I was given the blessing of so many feathers that my son found with me.  So many feathers in an otherwise disillusioned place.  I am thankful for the reminder that I am protected, my sons are protected.  We are all Divinely protected by the wings of angels that surround us in our everyday lives….

even the days that are too sad to be funny.
