Amazed Again!

So, about ten days ago or so, I said, "Well, Universe, clearly I'm not ready to sell this house yet, so I can't retire. Guess, I'll need a job. Do your thing. I'm leaving it up to entirely.

Couple of days later, I'm reading emails that pop up every day with jobs.

I see that one of my editorial temp agencies needs an AMA copy editor right away. Two days a week. Great hourly pay! Bit of ride up 95 but after rush hour.

So, I apply. Two minutes later, the agency calls. Some conversation.

A day later, can you work this week?

Of course!

Worked on Friday, asked to come back Monday.

Worked Monday, asked to come back Wednesday and Friday.

Sure!

Best part?  They just opened an office in Philadelphia in Olde City.  That office isn't staffed yet.

Hmmm, is the Universe great or what?

"I believe in miracles."

Miracles

If only you believe like I believe in miracles, like I do, baby, we'll get by. 

I've got this damn song STUCK in my head.

Ever since I heard Marty Balin died and clicked on this song, I can't get it out of my head.

I've never actually liked this song.

I like it even less now, after several days of ear worm.

Last night it occurred to me (finally) to wonder if the song had some message in it for me.

I think it does.

I have a lot on my plate. Lots of decisions. Lots of things to do after the decisions.

I'm planning on selling my house and retiring.

These are really big decisions.

I am procrastinating. I am worrying. I am constantly asking myself "What if?"

Then I realized that the Universe was telling me that it could only match me.

I had to believe in miracles first for miracles to happen.

I get it but that damn songs is STILL STUCK in my head!

Once more into the fray...

So, today I've starting applying for jobs again.

I have a wedding tomorrow and a doctor's appointment next week and then just an open calendar.

I'm actually a little excited about it.

I've applied for an inside sales position. Never done that before. I've always thought I would be good at it.

I also applied for editor position that seems more project management than editing.

I also applied for temp editing position.

Covering all the bases here!

It's fun to go back to work when you haven't been working for awhile.

Waiting for my roommates to move out. Can't wait to have the house to myself again. Also, to really purge with their stuff out of my way.

I've always been amazed at what the Universe has cooked up for me.

Preparing to be amazed again!

Banana Peel Time

Yeah, so I haven't been here for awhile.

I'd like to say life is delicious but it's not.

I took in some friends with no place to go and truly regret it.

There's been upsets, yelling, and, even stealing.

Hard to believe that someone you rescued would steal from you but there it is.

I remember years ago a friend picked up a hitchhiker. I met him. He was a Viet Nam vet. He showed me the scar on his back where he got shot.

He let him stay the night.

The hitchhiker stole his watch and escaped out the window (because he didn't have a key for the door).

Yeah, these things happen. Honestly haven't thought of that in years but similar situation.

I though I was over being codependent but apparently I'm not.

It feels so unkind to turn your back on someone, but, really, they have the same connection to their Higher Self and the Universe that I do. Maybe they don't know it, but they do.

I think bad things are happening because it's time to move in. Move on from old relationships, old houses, old ways, old things.

I checked Point of Power, which I hadn't done for a long time and received this message:

When your whole world is going to hell, you are going to heaven. And the kingdom of heaven is within you.

It's true, too.

Believe me, I want to sit and berate myself for causing this situation but what good would it do?

I've learned my lesson. Really painful lesson. Really expensive lesson (in more ways than one).

The truth is, though, that whatever I've lost, well, at some point, I'm going to "lose" it all.

I'm going to drop the body, kick the frame, and everything will just left behind.

No matter what it is, no matter how valuable, no matter how cherished.

It's all just an illusion anyway......
