When were you last suprised by joy?

That would be just the other day as I was sitting in front of my computer I had the sensation that everything was going to be better, over all for all people, not just myself or my own family, yet I felt my own family would be part of it for sure.

On this same day something happened with the water in our house.  Several weeks ago for some strange reason that we could not discover, the water going to the bathtub in the master bedroom, just shut itself off. All other water in the house worked but not the bathtub there and we just could not fanthom why no water would come through when it was turned on.  We did not do anything about it like calling a plumber, but just let it go and used other facilities in the other bathrooms for taking showers, but I really missed not getting to get into that tub since it was the widest and most desirable place for relaxing in a tub of hot water. 

On this same day that I felt the sensation like everything was getting better, like almost as if the air itself had changed, that very evening my son and daughter-in-law were in their bedroom and they heard a pop, a loud pop.  They went to that tub, turned the spigot and sure enough the water was flowing again. It fixed itself. 

Now there may be some logical explanation for all of this and I am open to that but I do love how my son interprets this happening. He says that he also has renewed belief that everything is going to go well for us, that the flow is beginning again and good things are on their way.  All of this happened just the other day, a Monday it was. 

We can take the happenings in our lives and think of them as just mundane, usual, and explainable things that could happen to anyone and this is what most people do. But we are the dreamers of the dreams. We can take ordinary, or not so ordinary happenings and say of them that "this means this or that or whatever we want to proclaim them to mean" for when we do we are influencing what will come our way.  We can look at all happenings everywhere, even things like the 911 event, and take some good that it can cause to come about and claim THAT to be.  I think it is our responsibility to do this sort of thing, even if we are rediculed (maybe only tell those who won't rain on your parade) and it is our priviledge to call things as we wish them to be.  I think that changes begin in small ways at first but that they grow and enough people doing this kind of thing, then the more dramatic and lasting the changes for the good. 

There is so much one can learn from just watching YouTube, (which I like to do a lot) but I am finding out that one can be disturbed by some of the viewing.  People are projecting their fears through their videos on YouTube, yet I see this as a good thing that we have this freedom to express ourselves almost any way we wish within certain limits. Of coarse we can take it or leave it, watch it or don't watch it, make of it what we want to make of what we see there or anywhere else, or see it as an opportunity to hold a good thought for someone who is experiencing fear.

All is good as we call it good, even if others do not see our reasoning in calling things good that seem only bad.  It is because there is perfection in the process, always.  In other words, it will all come out i to be good in the end. We have a bright future.  We will find that we either join the doom and gloomers, or we will get in line with the good story tellers who want a win-win world for all concerned.  This is important to me because so many are prophesying a tribulation and if they insist and bring it about for themselves only, the rest of us can foresee a jubilation. I would much rather jubulate than tribulate.  I think the choice is mine.
