There's no such thing as "coincidence"?

I just learned this today. There's this book that I've been reading everyday. Pretty much a daily page by page good read. It gives you positive things to think about. The book is "Your Best Life Begins Each Morning" by Joel Osteen. Today, I've read about how we experience something special from daily simple things and we think of it as coincidence but it's actually not. Being happy at the right place and at the right time is too far from a coincidence, according to the book. This, in my view, is true. This actually reminded me of what happened the other day. When I'm exhausted from everything, which has been the case lately, all I ever wanted was a smallest thing that would make me smile. Anything will do like a good night at work, ice cream, good coffee, seeing nice happy people, seeing persons I like or receiving a message from a crush. Anyway, the other day, after a tiresome shift, I've seen a very special person. He's someone I really look up to and someone who knows a lot about me and even my aches and pains. Seeing this person smile at me just makes my day. I honestly consider this person my blessing or my angel. He's like a brother who believes in what I can do even if sometimes I doubt myself. Every time I feel so tired and so down he'd appear. Every time that will happen, I feel like an angel is working its magic and that the angel knows that he'll make me feel better. This person always makes me feel like I can get through all my challenges and that I will succeed in whatever I do. Why does he have so much confidence in me? I don't know. All I know is that he's one of my "happy doses."

Today, I'm not using my feet...

Today's post is about being comfy. Being comfy and being lazy are totally different. Being comfy is the state after finishing what you have to do and being lazy is the state before doing what you have to do. I call it comfy when I end my day in bed with "fresh" sheets and pillows, just taken a shower wearing my "toasty" (warm from the dryer) pj's and with soy candles lit up on a rainy evening. These warm booties are extras keeping my feet warm. It's not raining tonight but I get to have my comfy moment.

Inner Peace

Life was like roller coaster ride these past couple of months. Although I've noticed some changes, the way I view and approach things. Suddenly I felt... I'm getting old. I'm afraid I'm having these thoughts but at one point I feel like embracing the changes. I don't avoid issues anymore like I used to. I face them head on. Not that I have any choice anyway. The more you dodge on what's coming at you, the more they pile up and chase you. They become ghosts or shadows. I've learned to seek happiness on simple things, breathing cool air in the morning, enjoying quiet places and just being me.

Intuition

It's hard when you can't predict someone. We're not really suppose to, but if we listen to what our senses say versus to what we can actually see, this is some kind of forewarning. I'm pretty sensitive about things like this. I can feel what's happening but I'm often stubborn and not listening to that inner voice that's nagging at me. First few times it happened, results were devastating. Really depressing. However, the same cycle happens again and again whether I like it or not. The only good thing is that I can always sense that it's coming so I get to try different means to end with different results. By far, the results have been getting better and better but not as painful as the first situation I was in. I've learned what to expect and what not to expect. I've learned how to understand people. Most of all, I've learned how not to get totally entangled, emotion wise. The only fear I have is that I might get used to it and eventually become a cold blooded person. No, I don't hold grudges but I somehow, unintentionally, develop some kind of barrier. I hate dramas and I hate myself being in one.
