serendipity at work

today was good. it has been a very long time since i can say i felt happy. and today, there were moments that i felt so happy, i thought i might cry. i go through phases where i can really see how the universe wants to be on my side. that the invisible hand is there, ready to push me along the path of happiness and miracles. i know the miracles are there, everywhere. but only when i open my eyes and my arms to welcome them, whatever they may look like, can i really see it. and when this happens, my faith is restored in something much bigger than myself. and that feels really good.

and this is happening for a good friend of mine as well. it has been fantastic to witness the way something really awful has paved the way for new opportunities and growth. and it all seemed so perfectly timed, once we were able to see the good in the really bad.

there is a person out there who continues to show up in my life in the most unexpected and connected ways. and after showing up again today, i realized it was time to take action. i will share more about this cyclical encounter later. but it made me smile huge.

i also received an unexpected email from my only sister. this was really, really appreciated and needed in ways that surely she will never realize. we have not spoken in quite some time, but i think of her and her family often. it's funny that she emailed me, unaware of where i'm at in my life, about a t.v. show that of course, i've been watching. i can only hope that we will continue to talk. it has been a source of sadness in my life and frances needs to know some family members besides her mother.

lastly, i want to thank selma, who instantly made me feel at home today. i hugged this stranger twice in the course of an hour. she was exactly what i needed and it is because of her that a tremendous amount of stress has lifted from my life.

lastly, wayne dyer reminded me today to open my eyes to the teachers out there. that real magic does exist. and he's absolutely right. just go outside and see what happens.
