Q: I feel as though something is 'missing'. I have a part of me that has left, gone forever.
What is it?
My youth? (I'm 63)
My energy?
My purpose? (purposeful job)
My freedom to roam? (we now have 2 dogs)
Love? (kids, friends, family)
A: Undoubtedly yes to all the above. Yet look to what you have gained and to what you have given.
Your life has been given, primarily, in service to others, whether skilful or not. Each 'job' was one designed to help others, whether True or not (intent). All were also aids to your learning, and to your Soul growth. The more you learn, the more you are able to give. This is the way of the Ascending soul. It cannot be otherwise, whether this is selfless or self-ish service, it is still service.
Just by being here, a living, breathing human that harbours the eternal soul, you are in service to Creator and all creation.
Your True Self knows only of Love, yet here in the density of apparent separation, you choose your way of service. What will be your choice of service to your world today?
Each heartfelt thought evokes an emotion, each emotion begets an action or reaction. For most, a kind or wise thought is expansive and travels further than you may imagine. For the 'Field' of Creator's Grace that surrounds and infuses all things, reacts and responds and expands/extends all thoughts with a basis of a Loving nature.
The Grace Field knows of negativity, yet it does not engage it and therefore it (all negativity) will eventually retire into itself and disappear, for it has no Divine 'fuel' for its fiery nature to survive.
This world of duality is so carefully surrounded by the nurturing nature of this Field, maintaining a safe environment for human, and other, 3rd density souls to learn and grow.
Ascension is a process that is synonymous with service to All. You cannot engage in one without the other, it is impossible. The choice here is which service you choose. Do not be tempted to wrap yourself up in earthly details. True service is to Love all things. Simply that.
What you may feel is 'missing' is the wholeness of Unity, for that is your ultimate Truth and Beingness. This sense of 'missing' is a byproduct of the densities of separation, an illusion to ensure the growth into (the) Pure Spirit of all beings. Look only for the Love in all things, Creator's Pure Love that demands nothing of anyone, but is given freely to all creation to assist its blossoming into Finer Things.
You (all) are both gifted and a gift. You are here as Creator 'on the ground', given to walk it any way you choose. Yet you will find that Love calls the loudest and will give the most, in its fullness and completeness, that leads to the feeling of the Unity of Divine Illumined Love that is our shared destiny with Creator.
All else mentioned will come and go. All else of Earthly nature are merely transitory. Allow their comings and goings peacefully, cling not to anything of such a transitory nature, they are but learning aids for the Soul.
Yes, youth fades, energy may fade, freedoms come and go and Earthly loves come and go. Yet True Love is eternal, service is eternal. We are all wise to focus the energy we have on that which is eternal. Grow Love in your gardens of Earth and enjoy the blooming of her petals in your hearts and in your lives.
Let Love receive you at last, and do so always.
Spend time in timelessness that it may reveal to you your eternal Truth.

Q: More on the 'missing something'
It is as though I have forgotten to do something important, a missed appointment that I'd waited weeks or years for, or forgotten that 'top priority' on my days list of 'to do's'
A: You cannot be late to Creator's appointment/party.
It is always here, right now and as long as you are a being of awareness, you are also 'here right now', and are engaging with Creator and all creation. It is what you will offer this moment that is your 'appointment with God', you might say, and this cannot be missed, ever.
The volume/magnitude of your service will differ, yet the 'outcome' remains the same, whether the saving of a life or a smile to a stranger. For both are of the ingredient of Love, both added to the eternal Self.
We cannot emphasise enough that, great or small, the power of all service of a Truly Loving nature is equal. Such quality comes from the Divine desire with which service is offered/delivered.
You cannot miss your True calling, yet you do have the choice to experience various avenues for service and seeking. As you do so, you may come to realise that to give Love in all conditions set upon you, is the Greatest Service of All.
