If I needed further proof that we are surrounded by love and protection from the Angelic realm… I received it recently.

It began on a Thursday.

I was due in the office.

I got up, showered, had a glass of juice and a glass of water, and began my twenty minute walk in.

Within a few minutes I had to stop as I was struggling to breathe.

I struggled on confused, and sat down a few more times wondering what on earth was happening.

Eventually I was defeated by a footbridge close to campus, I sat down on a bench close to crying.

My good friend James appeared.

“I was literally just thinking of you”

That was true.

As I had been trying to walk, I kept thinking how great it would be to bump into him.

We live and work quite close to each other, but have never crossed paths in a morning before.

He’d decided to have a little coffee in his garden before leaving, which meant he appeared to me at just the right time.

With his encouragement, and direction, I ended up in A&E.

It was discovered that I had multiple blood clots on my lungs – they think due to my second dose of the Pfizer Covid Vaccine.

Wow, what a time I am having lately!

As I spent the next 36 hours(ish) in hospital, I strangely felt more safe and okay than you might think.

Even as I could see the worry in the doctor’s eyes, I felt calm, if a little emotional.

I was emotional because I saw the beauty in the situation.

I met some people who I would never have met.

I got the chance (again) to get right up close to my mortality and see life in its truest form.

I worked out my newly formed ‘depend on others’ muscle, and I rested and waited and surrendered.

I was discharged the next night with blood thinners and I am recovering well at home.

Thank you James, for being there when I needed you.

Much love Txx
