Prayer/Sending Energy: It Works!

Dear Paper Girlfriend,

About a year ago, I experienced a bout of depression.  I was going through a rash of difficult situations- a death, a divorce, and an estrangement.  I am not prone to depression, but am grateful for the experience so I can relate to people who deal with chronic depression.  I never would have understood the paralyzing nature of depression otherwise.  I wanted to spend the day sitting on the floor, looking out the sliding glass window and thinking.  I could have done it for hours, but I had animals to feed, thank goodness!

One morning as I sat deep in my thoughts, journaling and feeling particularly down, my feelings began to shift.  My words in my journal became words of encouragement. I began to write in an emphatic way with my writing getting bigger and bolder with a “I’ve got this attitude.”  After I had set my pen down I noticed a text from a friend.  She said she had been sending me energy.  To feel, and at the same time document the change in myself as my friend, unbeknownst to me, was sending positive thoughts and affirmations my way, has forever cemented in me the power of sending someone energy/prayer.
