Very nicely written, Jenn. Although sometimes we just can’t see the forest for the trees, there’s too much going on and sometimes the lessons/blessings don’t come to our consciousness for some time. Which is okay too. I believe that we all do the best we can in each moment, even if we don’t think it’s our best, because our intention is never to do poorly in any given situation. I don’t believe there are any mistakes either, just choices made that did not take us where we wanted to go. But they do show us what we want/where we want to go more clearly. So all of life is a lesson, sometimes uplifting, sometimes emotionally heavy, but all of it is worth it, for without extremes, we couldn’t appreciate the middle near as well. J
I am having a hard time reading your posts because of the background color and I have to change my font color when I respond so it can be seen . . . just wanted to let you know this, as others may find your posts hard to read too.

I absolutely believe that every being that comes into my life arrives to teach me a lesson. I also believe that everything that happens to me is also happening to teach me a lesson, and allowing me to learn from it. I probably have not learned them all at the time, or even yet, but I know it all happened for a reason. I have so much capacity for compassion that I feel that these beings needing it come to me because there is a gap in them that I fill, and visa-versa, in me that they fill, almost in a purely scientific way. Like an empty vacuum being filled with air. Everything fits together in this world, where one thing is missing, something replaces it. If we make the right choices and take the correct actions, things fit together in a harmonious way, creating light and goodness, and truth. If we make the wrong choices, and make bad moves, things do not run so harmoniously, and we get the sensations of unwellness, conflict or discord. When things happen in our lives, we need to be aware of all of it's meanings, and then carefully make the decisions we need to make, and take the actions we need to take to put the situation to the best use in our lives, then we need to carefully find peace in what we have done, and file the information gathered from the happening in our consciousness, so we can actively recall and use the lessons it left with us. Each sick cat we take in leaves us with at least one lesson learned, most likely at least 4 or 5 lessons. The saying "you learn from your mistakes" rings negative to us, but in truth, it's just how we learn. It's only negative if you go through the mistakes, and then don't learn from them, and end up repeating them over and over again. There's another saying "history repeats itself". In that, exists proof that as a whole, humanity does not effectively learn from it's mistakes, and make the correct moves and take the correct actions as a whole. Each one of us who begins to learn, and use the lessons in our lives to create positive energy within ourselves and the world around us, is one more person changing the shape of our society and species, for the betterment of us all.
You kind of got me started there... I have a whole website devoted to such things, I could rant and rave for hours on such topics. ;-)~
