The Teacher Appears

You know the old saying, when the student is ready the teacher appears? Well, the student must be ready. I was ready to do a completely different post, but I will get to that another time. I am reaching and trying to grow to new heights. I am doing that by changing myself, starting with my thoughts, words, and feelings. I find it interesting that at the moment my soul has an aha moment, immediately a situation arises that demands the soul to respond. (I've had two in as many weeks) And the Rich Girl (see the cast on the left of the page) is left with a choice of whether to act as she would have before, or to take the new found information and act anew.

Well, we had that opportunity this week. The Beast (fondly nicknamed by the Mish) was injured in a basketball game. He was taken to the ER. He is all right. He may have had a concussion. There was an adult involved that was being rather ugly and I was not taking to it happily. So, I complained, shared it with some friends, got their opinion, blah blah blah. In the midst of it I was actually thinking, "I am not sure I am being true to my convictions here."

The Dr.s' note was taken to school to avoid physical activity and there was a response. We could not figure out if it was a joke or real. I actually had an internal battle whether to rage or laugh. And as a group, the Beast, the Bish, and I decided to just laugh. We decided from now on, let's just laugh. Can you imagine the response? The next day, the adult involved was happy, happy, happy. He's been a crank for months. And he called the Beast in and apologized. Huh? I did not see that coming.

Coincidence? Maybe. I choose to believe that a shift in our "cosmic" world produced a shift elsewhere. But, the greater hope is that *I* learned the lesson. The student is ready.
