There have been very special moments over the course of my life that I will always remember ... moments now gone forever ... some that I deeply grieved for the loss. And each of those moments adding their own dimensions of mystical energy that shaped my life.

And today, when I look back at those special moments ... and see how they have unknowingly transformed into precious moments ... as I now understand and greatly appreciate these precious moments very differently from when they first occurred ... and say ... "Thank You".

So when does the grieving of loss subside? ... Perhaps when the grieving process transforms itself into a "Celebration of Gratitude" for those precious moments ... from once upon a time.
