Uncle

Notice to the Universe:

I am saying uncle.  I would cry it but I'm out of tears.  Enough already!  Seriously.

Here's the thing, yesterday just sucked.  Today I am trying to be more positive and process through the happenings of the past few days.  I got up this morning and got out to do some errands.  Too much sitting around doesn't help an overactive mind.  When I just came back a few minutes ago, I was walking down the sidewalk carrying a 40 pound bag of dog food and there was a snake in front of my neighbor's apartment.  He was probably 6-8 feet away from me.  I don't do well with snakes, 6-8 yards would be too close.  He was looking at me.  I said this to him, "Dude, really?"  I stood not moving.  Trying to decide.  Retreat to my car or continue on.  I got brave and put one foot in front of the other and continued on.  Only to realize the key to my apartment was still in my car and I would have to walk past two more times.  Which I did and just kept my eyes on my direct path.

When I was safely settled into my apartment, I sat down to check my email to see that a job I applied for that I was really interested in but hadn't interviewed for, has been filled.  This is on the heels of finding out yesterday that I also didn't get the previously mentioned job that I interviewed for.

Uncle.  It's time to laugh instead of cry.  I can think the Universe is working against me or I can think it is conspiring in my favor to bring me where I need to go.  Bless the broken road, because maybe it is leading to the yellow brick road.  And bless the snake as well for he gave me the opportunity to put my fear aside and continue on my path. 

And now I say, when life hands your lemons, eat watermelon.  Because watermelon makes everything a little better. 

Until next time...
Love & Peace,
Hope
