I was chatting with a friend of mine the other day…we talked about my blog and the weather and just made general conversation. When It was time to leave, she said, “I have something I’ve been wanting to talk to you about for a while, but I haven’t had the words”.
She likes to have her thoughts all together before sharing. Talking and journaling are both such great ways to sort out your thoughts. She hadn’t done either yet.
So the conversation had to wait.
She went straight to work. One of her first customers was deaf, and she had to write everything down putting her behind for the rest of the day.
When she later told me the story, I thought, isn’t it amazing how the universe sends us messages? When you don’t say something to someone who listens, you are sent someone who can’t hear and you’re forced to write.
Oh the irony.
It was like she was being given her options to sort out her thoughts right back to back.
I don’t know if that was really the intended message for my friend. I know she didn’t see it that way. But it was a funny enough sequence of events it made me chuckle.
