Touched by an Angel
I believe in Angels. I believe that many people are sent to watch over each and every one of us at some point in our life. I know I have a guardian Angel. There have been two occasions in my life, in which I am lucky to have walked away from. Both are car accidents. The first was when I was in grade 9 coming home from a school dance. The driver of my car lost control and wrapped around a telephone pole. The pole crushed my door and broke my window. Some how my head was saved. I went through the glass and my head hit the pole.
You know, I haven't thought about this in a long time. And since I hit my head, a lot of my memory prior to and after the accident is gone. I think I may have blocked out a lot of it because it was such a traumatic event for me. It happened 7 years ago and I'm still thinking about it. I just remembered that as I was getting in the car, I told my other friend that we were going to get into an accident on the way home. How would I have known this? It is little reasons like this that make me believe in Angels. Not only was I prepared for it, I was saved with no permanent damage.
Angels come in many forms. It is no secret that I don't enjoy Barrie like I used to. That’s not to say that I don't have some good times while I'm here, but it's not the same. I had put this city up on a pedestal and when it fell, it fell hard. There are just some conversations and interactions that remind me that I am alive and that I have control over my attitudes. There are also those conversations which remind me that somebody is always thinking of me. I made a call to a friend this evening, a person whom I value more than I have for any other person. I've been living such a hectic lifestyle recently, this conversation centered me. And I haven't laughed that hard in so long.
So keep your head up, you always have somebody looking out for you. Weather it is from up above, or people standing around; just pay attention.

Oh sweetie! It's crazy how close we've gotten over the past few months. Now that I think about it it feels way longer then just a few months, it feels like I've been your friend my whole life. You mean a lot to me too, and I miss you!
There's no need to bring Barrie off that pedistal though. It can stay up there for what it was, and you can move on to bigger and better things. Look back on your times there an smile, but move forward in a different direction.

PS, You know you're good when you can do it in your sleep ;)
