Well- in the interest of “time management” and an impending tornado (Yep, we get them here in North Carolina!) I gotta make this quick. BUT, as yet again, I am compelled to type, I shall. My day today has been quite curious- as I really seem to have accomplished practically nothing tangible- except for a huge pan of lasagna that is cooling off on my kitchen counter.

This morning, I answered a knocking at my door- and it was one of the kids from my program. He had several of the books I had lent him.. and tears in his eyes. Of course, I asked him what was wrong, and he told me, “I have to move away today, and I will never be able to come back here.”. Huh. I don’t know if a 4- leafed clover helped him to “feel” any better, but it was the best I could manage. I tried to encourage him to keep one of the books, but he stated that he could not bring “anything big” with him. I found his statement to be quite sad, especially since the book was NOT the size of a toaster oven.

Anyway. I thought I’d share YET another interestingly “odd quirk” I have, with you, dear reader(s)- as you’ve been so wonderfully supportive. I am hoping that my “confessions of a curious being” are accepted in the manner in which I am intending to present them. Simply honest and perhaps NOT “totally normal” things. Whatever “normal” is.. I have no idea- I am just “Happy-BEing-Me”. I have, every since I can remember (probably around the age of two) had a curious “sight thing”. Heh. I have been checked by numerous neurologists, optometrists- AND a LOT of “negativists”. You see, I actually DO “see” those “Happy Sparkle Thoughts” that I incessantly distribute. They appear as gold glittery sparkles, and float in the air in front of me. I have TRIED to touch them, but?? Nope- I have not managed to “capture tangible evidence” of their existence, as I was so fortunate to have done when I managed to photograph “my” blind sparrow. By the way?? It only took me eight months of trying to GET that photograph! *LOL*

Of course, I used to ask other individuals if THEY could see them- and none of them were able to. Some people accused me of fabricating, others were convinced I had “something wrong with me”; and hustled me off to many different doctors. *sigh* I thusly learned that in order to “be normal”, I should NOT disclose ALL information that I was “receiving”. Heh. WHAT a sad way to live!! Really. I personally do not care if other people are able to actively “see” sparkles. I mean, I truly HOPE they can, because they are very beautiful, and calming to me- and I truly wish other people to be sharing in this wonderful experience! Whether one “can” or” cannot” is not meaning one person is “better” than someone else. All this truly means is that EACH of us processes information that we receive from the world around us a bit differently. So. I suppose my message is this, dear reader(s), those mysterious ones, AND friends. One does not need to be comparing themselves to someone else.. to be “knowing” that what they are experiencing IS real. If you’re experiencing it, it’s YOUR reality. If WHAT you are sensing, or experiencing is distressing and.. painful?? Umm.. you might want to be asking advice from a medical doctor.

It IS our “human nature” to want to be able to discover if others have the same experiences, perhaps because they are so wondrous that one simply wants to know if other people are “noticing” the same things. It is our very nature to want to support other individuals, and to help them grow “into” whoever they are choosing to.. BE.

So. As I scamper around, actively living my “life’s purpose” of giving something that I AM able to give to others, please be knowing that those “Happy Sparkle Thoughts” that I am sending to you.. when they are in front of ME, are gold, gently floating sparkles of light. What do YOU see them as? I hope your evening is going well- and?? I have a H-U-G-E pan of lasagna, if anyone is hungry!
