Right Here

Gareth (my 2-year-old) always wants me or his Dad in his presence if at all possible. Whenever one of us walks into the room where he is playing or watching TV, he'll pat the couch or chair and say, "right here." This cute gesture of his immediately brings a smile to my face, of course. For he is the light of my life, this little being. A ray of sunshine in my sometimes cloudy life.

I read a lot! I love reading. It's one of my passions. I read fiction and non-fiction. The non-fiction that I read is usually spiritually based or something along the lines of "getting my head straight." I'm constantly seeking answers it seems, hoping to find those "ah-ha" revelations in one book after another. I've been known to read 4 or 5 books at a time!!! Especially the non-fiction, because I'm eagerly awaiting for the epiphany....... the realization....... the answer.

I also look at websites that offer advice, insight, and .......answers. The web is loaded with this stuff and I'm right there surfing along, trying to find......the answer. This morning, I was on Oprah's website looking at several of her featured authors' blogs. You can scroll down and find most any topic of self-help or better yet, buy their book for the full result! As I quickly skimmed through one blog after another, I caught myself and had my own realization. I know where the answers are. They are where they have always been. Inside me. God gave us a spritual life-line that's connected to his all-knowingness. Call it what you will...... instinct, intuition, common sense! But, we all have it. So, as I sat there reading a blog and had this moment of inspiration..........I closed my eyes........put my hand on my chest..... and thought to myself, those sweet and simple words......RIGHT HERE!
