A Message (but not in a bottle)
It would appear that the Universe is reaching out to try to tell me something, although I am not exactly sure what it is yet. I just know I should be prepared. I most recently wrote about how just the fact that my TV happened to be on a channel and I turned it on just as a movie was beginning and it reminded me of my “Grumpa”
(what I called him when I was very little - he always got a kick out of it, even if he wasn’t usually grumpy). Well, today something a little weirder happened. I recently joined the MAC Wellness gym across the street from where I work. Most of the people I work with go there and my work actually pays for half of my monthly fee, so it is a good deal. Last night, I went on a search for an old combination lock that I have had for at least 6 years now. I found it and I was excited I would not have to buy a new one, until I realized I didn’t remember the combination. Oh well - so I began to pack my gym bag. While putting something in the inner zipper pocket I felt something sticky. Immediately ready to be grossed out about something that has probably been rotting in there for WAY too long, I pulled it out. Amazingly, it was actually something very useful - the sticker with the combination to the lock!!! I knew I was smart at one time and put it somewhere that would be useful. Just to make sure the sticker and the lock were a true match, I went to try it out. I almost fainted when I looked at the combination. Two of the numbers are the month and date that my grandfather recently passed away. What are the chances of that??? I mean - you don’t buy a combination lock and know its number beforehand. In addition, I bought this lock over 6 years ago, while my grandfather only died this past fall. I know most people would think it was just a coincidence, and I would normally dismiss it as such too. Except for the fact that I just have this overwhelming feeling like there is some sort of symbolism in all of this connectedness lately. I have always had this “sixth sense” (no - not like I communicate with ghosts or even am clairvoyant or anything like that) kind of gut feelings that I shouldn’t ignore and too many times they have proved to be right for me to ignore them. Anyway, I just had to share. Hope everyone stays dry and safe from the floods and storms!
P.S. I did get a good workout today, and I know I will be sore tomorrow hehehe
