Weird How the Past Suddenly Collides with the...

Suddenly, this week the past has been hitting me with a vengence, both good and bad! First my friend posted those photos from Rocky from 1996. Then, I heard about Larry Norman and Delaney Bramlett dying. Then, I found someone I never, ever want to see again on Facebook. And then my cousin Pat found my son on MySpace, and I'm reconnecting with her through there. I haven't seen her in about 8 years,and only once in probably 20 years.

It's got to be more than coincidental that all this is coming up now. Anybody got any ideas what the message might be?

What might the pictures posted from, Rockey, from 1996 have to do with it? What Rockey are you speaking of? I don't get it?

My husband found his son on a social networking site too. It's amazing what can happen with the internet.

Strange, but not unusual. I agree with Leah. It just happened to you..That's all. Don't worry, and follow your heart. Ellen B

If you have unresolved issues maybe this is a sign you should get them out in the open.

I really don't agree that we need everyone, Anna. There are a couple of people who I bear no ill will, but I just never want to see or hear from again. One of them is the one who found me on Facebook. But I guess finding my cousin balances that out.

Dorothy, I posted some photos from Rocky Horror Picture Show earlier this week; one of them was from 1996, of me and my husband.

"I really don't agree that we need everyone, Anna. There are a couple of people who I bear no ill will, but I just never want to see or hear from again."

Amen.

Seems like there's a retesting of boundaries, now and then, to see if that which we chose to leave in our past, we still choose to leave there.

That's exactly what I feel is happening, Lune. I believe I'm being led to look at things, good and bad, and decide what to keep and what to possibly reclaim.
