The Magic Is Back

It's always interesting to see what I wrote the last time I was here.

Just this week, I have the last appointment to fix my teeth from that event. It ended up to be 4 broken teeth and nearly $15,000 to repair the damage. I had no idea when I wrote the previous post the extent of the damage, the size of the bill, or the length of the treatment plan.

It's been a journey.

For severall years, I have felt like the magic was gone from my life. I used to feel that my life was blessed, that I could really just think of something and it would suddenly appear in my path. Not perfectly. My life was full of imperfections, but the level of magic made me feel so happy and so much appreciation for my life.

Then the magic seemed to evaporate.

Then hard times set in. It has pushed me to rething my entire life. It has also pushed me to clean up bad habits and thought patterns which I had just allowed to stick around. It was like cleaning out the basement. I kept reaching back for my faith, my trust, that all was well in my world. I would stumble, pick myself up, and set back out.

I've arrived where I am today thanks to perserverence, and the momentum of truly good things in my life.

Today, I've still got some evidence of the hard time in my daily living. But mostly, I see signs of a magical spring. The magic is returning to my life. It's gone from a trickle to a steady stream. I've not yet erased the signs of the hard times, but I feel for the first time like I can returnn to my previous life. It hit me on Friday and I literally felt the wind beneath my wings. The optimism was so strong that the feeling stayed with me for days.

That's why I'm here tonight. I want to record the magic being back. The twinkle is back in my eye. The spring is back in my step. I'm looking forward with a great sense of potential. I'm starting the dream again.

I'll be back to write more about the journey to this place, and the lessons I've learned in the last few years.

But for now, it's enough to just sit and breathe into this feeling of being connected to the magic of life. Of my life. And the feeling thgat life is good.
