I like the neckline and its fabric is not my favorite– kind of synthetic feeling to me. During that day I thought to myself, “I like the color and the neckline but I would rather it be in a softer fabric.”

About a week later I entered my regular yoga class. The teacher (with whom I collaborate on a yoga project) called me over before class. Excitedly, she says ” I have something for you” As her hands raise I see she is holding a top for me that she saved from her work at the women’s shelter thrift store– it is brown cowl neck top in a soft fabric.

I had not told a soul about how I felt about the one I owned. My yoga friend did not see me that day.  Cowl, same color, better fabric–WOW.  Actually it took a bit for me to associate the two. Oh My God I had wished for that– and recently!

Another example from this past week .. poolside..

I practice swimming every other day– I am at the pool quite often 🙂

One never knows when the silicone bathing cap will wear out and rip. The day for the red one I had had for over a year came in the last five days… as I went to put in on my head it ripped it two.  I did not have a spare one with me.

Immediately I went to the lifeguard in front of me– it happens that guard is the one to whom I am closest at the pool. Often I swim and she is not on duty but that day she was there when I was. I showed her the cap. Within a minute I had a cap to use– she went to her locker and handed me her personal one with instructions where to return it after the session.  My “problem” was solved so fast! WOW

A few days later in the locker room I discovered I had forgotten my pool sandals. “Ok I can go barefoot,” I said to myself. Out I go to the pool area. I sit, I realize I need to go back into the locker room. I go and come back. There near the lane I have chosen are pool sandals. No one is around. I look at the guard– she shrugs.  All these years I have never noticed stray sandals hanging around.. They fit me… so the Universe provided me with sandals at that moment.

One more.. same week…

In my morning quiet time I usually pull two oracle cards. I use a variety of decks.  One day I had some past hurts stirred up and I cried a bit on and off as I went about my activities. That next morning I pulled “Tears cleanse the soul.” I just looked at it. Pause Pause then I realized OMG how did that happen– I had never seen that card before and it was so perfect for my recovery process. WOW. Pulling it felt great 🙂

Point:  I recommend noticing what good shows up for you. Are you alert for the small things that go well? There is so much to appreciate…
