::LONG POST BUT WORTH THE READ:: Almost everyday I catch the clock at 1:11 or 11:11, I dont make a wish but I think of my angels. I dont consider myself a religious person but I am very spiritual. I have always believed that those who have passed on In my life watch over me. Today, I caught the clock at 1:11. I smiled and looked down at the pictures of my relatives who have passed that I have placed in my kitchen. I am not sure what took over me, but I began to cry. I felt them with me. I miss my grandmother and great grandparents and others who have left me and I became overwhelmed with gratitude for my life. Had it not been for them, my fate would be completely different. I started to think about my Cousins in Cuba, whom I just visited. Although happy because they dont know better, they have no chance at success in this life. They are stuck in that country with restrictions on money, employment, mail, packages, email, internet, etc. with no sign of freedom. The kids in that country play with tape from inside old VHS tapes, marbles, and old battered dolls on cockroach infested streets and buildings that are falling apart. People beg for money, food, drinks everywhere you go. Seeing this broke my heart and leaving them behind makes me weep. Had it not been for my grandparents and mother fleeing Cuba, that could have been me. We constantly want for more, something bigger and better than what we have and its natural for us in America but it doesnt make it right. I know that I have Angels watching over me and reminding me of how blessed I am. I am eternally grateful for all I have in the life and can only hope that all you are as well. So next time you look at the clock and see 1:11 or 11:11, dont make a wish for yourself. Instead just say thank you for all you already have. Be grateful and maybe wish for someone else who has much less than you 💗
