What are you smiling about? I get asked that a lot these days; sometimes I do not even realize a smile was on my face, reflecting my thoughts.
More often than not, I would respond with “nothing”. What else was there to say? They would not understand me anyway. How do I explain that I have Universal Forces as the wind beneath my wings helping me to soar higher and higher?
There are no visible changes to my circumstances. I live the same place, drive the same car, have the same few friends, my five dogs still romp and play with me, have only sold a few copies of my first book but still everything is different. It came from understanding of how things really work — the reason I came here and where I am heading at the end of this journey.
I did not find Jesus. I was lost to religion from as early as 9 — bound for hell in a barrel as my bible thumping Sunday school teacher used to say.
But I may have gotten the last laugh.
I found a joy, a happiness — a satisfaction in my circumstances that is just bringing me more and more things to be pleased about.
It is like that same barrel broke open and is pouring down blessing upon me.
Thanks, teacher.
