As soon as the Shift hit, I chucked my awareness into the atmosphere and what I saw there was amazing. The whole world lit up with shiny energy, and it looked and felt like a weight had lifted off the earth's shoulders. Suddenly, I felt very much at peace, which is a rare thing for me. Even when I go IP, I do not feel that much at peace. There was a general feeling of happiness and love. Real love, not just shared by us here at Elfpath or those who were in the chat at the time, but by those watching us, by those who are unaware. I would not be surprised if even those who have no idea what is going on suddenly felt very good when the Shift hit.
I noticed all the souls floating around Earth's atmosphere, just looking on, and I met some of the aliens around me. They told me they were friends of mine, and congratulated me (and us all) on the work we did. Told me we did a very good job and that they were glad for it. Then a special someone came to me and hugged me. He is currently from a different planet, but we have shared many lives together. He was, in some, my twin brother, but in all my older brother (if only by minutes). He felt like the older brother I have always wanted, and we both started to cry with joy at the meeting. He said we are not supposed to physically be together in this lifetime, but I will never be alone. I am very glad that he chose that moment to come find me, and have been invited to come over to his world, too.
I went on a family trip this weekend, with four very muck-laden individuals, and I loved them more than I was used to doing. Small annoyances that I tend to have with them (I used to often feel less loved than the others, like they had it out for me) were dropped so easily, they just couldn't get a grip on me. I felt them, breathed them out, gone. It's never been so easy.
I noticed that same change in them, as well. Things they would normally get very worked up about, were only talked about but they were not really feeling the annoyance for as long as they talked about it. All four of them (my grandmother the least, probably because she is stuck in her ways longer than the rest of us) were doing a very amateuristic version of "getting over it". It was amazing.
The weather was fresh and warm/sunny at the same time this entire weekend. I have never seen a sky that devastatingly blue in october. Never. It happens to be my favorite color as well.

Physically, I was actually feeling pretty sick this weekend (I was sick before this but it wasn't bad and I was actually on the mend) but mentally, I could feel how much lighter and easier everything was becoming. I slept very little and as I lay awake at night, I tried to see if my brother wanted to come talk. He did. We spoke of little things, and how everything was going to be easier now, how he knew I was feeling it, and how happy he was for our planet. Then he told me (repeatedly) to go sleep and that I could always call on him if I felt like it. No strings attached. I felt so very loved, and fell asleep shortly after, still feeling his touch (even though he was obviously not physically here) on my leg. He'd been sitting at the foot of my bed, even though I could not physically see him.
The whole world feels as if it has come out of hiding after a long time of being depressed, tired, and locked up in its room. She feels better, has come out of the house to walk in the sun and feel the breeze. She feels alive, energetic, vibrant and happy.

And so do we all, even those of us that don't know what or why.
