I found lavender on my doorstep......am I going bonkers?

[lolabug]

I'm having a difficult time with my 7yr old at the moment and the night before last he had a major tantrum, tore his room up and damaged his wall. It was all very emotional and although I remained calm on the outside I am finding it tough.

As I went to bed later that night I could feel a presence in the house, my dh was away, and although I was not scared I just knew I was not alone. I have felt this before.

The next morning as I opened the front door, placed exactly in the middle of the front door step was one strand of lavender. We do not have any lavender so it couldn't have fallen from a plant.

I noticed it immediately and felt a connection to it. I know lavender is associated with calm, is this a message?

Am I just making all these things up as I'm going through a hard week?

Sounds like someone's looking out for you to me.

Wow, how lovely. ANy idea who it could be?

My grandpa died in Jan, he was 102yrs old and I miss him terribly...I so want it to be him. However, I was also very connected with my Grandmother on the other side who died in my arms when I was pregnant with my first child, and I always think she's around me too.

I wondered whether there was anything significant about the lavender?

Lavender means devotion.

It is also very relaxing and aids sleep.

This is lovely. What was the first thought you had when you saw the lavender?

How lovely - someone has held a good thought for you. In Italy we would say this is most likely from a Gypsy and very good luck.

I also thought it may be a gypsy, but we live out in the country, not as if many would be passing!

My initial thought was it was gramps, coming to give me a hug and moral support. However the more I thought about it I wondered whether he would have done...not sure...not his style if you know what I mean?

confused as ever now.

I don't think you should overthink it too much - your initial reaction is probably your gut reaction and likely to be the most accurate.

Yip, totally what Bertie said and what I was getting at too xx
