Someone to watch over you?

No, I don't think anyone watches over me.

I wish there was someone watching out for me but I really don't think so.
I understand how others get comfort from that thought though and if it helps them, that's fine.

Yes, a decent and benign force for equality and justice.

No, not in the slightest. And if there was, I would hope it certainly wouldn't be my mother. But if others feel there is someone watching over them, and it brings them comfort, then good for them.

This exactly.

Yes, my parents were horrible people so it won’t be them!
My Grandma was lovely to me, she died when I was about 8, I think she has my back.

oh yes definitely. Sometimes there are scary incidents and I am unscathed or when I cannot find anything, I ask and suddenly I know where it is. I am sure I have angels looking out for me

Well when I first went to school we were fed the myth that every child has a guardian angel, clearly they don't or nothing bad would ever happen. It would be nice to feel that some presence looking out for us but I doubt it. I wouldn't want to discount anyone else's deep held feelings though.

No, I dont believe someone watches out for me in that way. I do have a belief in a supreme being (or divine plan) of some kind but do not attach a personality to him/her/it/they.

At the weekend I spent ages looking in all my books, magazines, hidey holes for a particular crochet pattern with no luck.

This afternoon I went out to the summerhouse and looked in a large box of Mum’s patterns and there it was! Straight away.

I swear my late Mum watches over me. As I opened the door, the smell of lavender (which she loved) was overpowering.

If she ever lost or mislaid something she would say a prayer to Saint Anthony. If I lose something now I ask her to help and she never lets me down. 🙂

Do you feel someone watches over you?
