someone to watch over me

Do you ever get the feeling someone is watching over you? I'm not referring to a creepy feeling you get when you realize someone has been watching you. I mean the appreciative feeling, the feeling of awe.

I know I have someone watching over me. I sense it throughout my day when something amazing happens, a narrowly missed accident, green lights all the way to where I'm headed, a kind word from a stranger, an uplifting conversation, the right song playing on the radio.

I am a spiritual person, who notices and feels the energy of those around me. I know there is a higher power or universal energy. It's not something I can prove to you, but I could share many stories to raise the hair on your arms.

one moment at a time

Sometimes I have taken life for granted, but not since last week. In a tragic accident, a friend of ours lost her life. One minute she was in her element, cycling down a hill taking in the view that stretched on before her, the next minute she was unconscious, fighting for her life.

She was a woman of substance who gave more to others in the past year than some people give in a lifetime. A woman who touched the lives of many with her golden smile, her infectious laugh and her encouragement. An angel on earth, now an angel in heaven.

Even in her death she has inspired others to start giving, sign their donor cards, live in the moment and find the passion missing from their daily existence. She did not merely exist day to day, she relished every moment and encouraged others to do the same.

I am one of those who has been inspired. I want to live a Phat life!
