Monday: Pay attention and the magic finds you.
I made it to the end of my day and was all prepared to call it a day sans magic. It was a day full of frustration as one of our computers is trying its best to throw in the towel. Granted, it's a 10 year old refurbished lap top (mac), but still.... We spent a good 8 hours trying to breathe life back into it and may've been somewhat successful in extending its life span another month or two - but that led us down a dark financial path. Where, I ask, will we find the moolah to buy another computer? 'cuz let's face it, we gots to have a computer.
This, of course, led to me sorting through medical bills (talk about your good times), and getting depressed. If I'd had a pint of ice cream in the freezer, I'd have crawled onto the couch in my pjs and eaten it.
In lieu of ice cream and the couch, I crawled into bed & a very subtle, yet miraculous thing happened. The street we live on (which is quite busy), got REALLY quiet. So quiet that I could hear the crickets put on a symphony for a good 5 minutes. It was amazing. I realized that magic is happening all the time, you just have to be paying attention, and for most of the day, I'd forgotten to pay attention.
So thank you Universe, for both the reminder and the symphony. It was pretty great.
