This week has been a very interesting week. I'm doing ok. Sore and stiff from the physical work, but that is a good thing. Means I did a good job, and I am "training" my body into better shape.
But more interestingly, I had 2 definite "lightbulb" moments. You know, the moment you realise that you fully understand something and it becomes completely clear to you that you were not previously aware of how important this factor or bit of enlightenment is. Could be something that you were consciously looking for, or something unexpected or subconsciously popped up and became important.
My two things were:
I was in a house....that doesn't feel quite "right". There was something missing. It is a brand new house, with beautiful rooms, windows, space, grand kitchen. But it is lacking a "soul" or personality. It is very sparse. Bare minimum. There are incredible photo walls, only a hand full of small photo frames in 2 rooms. The rest is empty. No personal touches or objects anywhere.
The people who live there are warm, caring, friendly and very outgoing. Colorful and full of energy and life. It doesn't match in my mind.
But then the "moment" hit me.
They had put their lives and belongings literally aside because of the needs of one child. They have put their home and how they live in it for now "on hold". The safety, calm empty rooms, and bare tranquillity of their home is completely for this child. It is now an understanding of how they love this child and will sacrifice all that they can....to help and care for this special child.
It is with deep respect and awe that I can again enter their house, and now see that for them, and their needs...it is their "home" too. I understand now.
The second AHA moment was a video clip that a dear friend shared.
It really hit home with me.
I know it is a facebook clip....and want to give full credits to those who made the clip, and those who shared it.
I hope the link works.
Maybe this will also be an AHA moment for you....and that you will learn something about yourself, and those of us who are doing the same thing.
