And the power of synchronicity
Day 9— July 17, 2021 —Synchronicity & Serendipity
I was supposed to get Lila to the groomer by 10:00 AM but they called early and said the groomer had a family emergency and they had to cancel my appointment. So, I decided to walk to the beach early, love the serendipity here. My day would have been jam-packed, and the beach walk would have been rushed and stressful. The cancellation opened things up and what transpired, as a result, was equally serendipitous.
On day two or three of this 30-day project, I met a woman named Mary Margaret dropping stuff off at the food pantry a couple of blocks from my place. She was in her car waiting for traffic to clear so she could exit the parking lot, and her car was blocking the sidewalk.
Suddenly a ginormous dog head stuck itself out the back window and stared at me with great big eyes. I am partial to the square set of the Boxer face, and this dog looked just like Bailey, the wonderful dog who was my girl Eppy’s doggy boyfriend many years ago.
The woman behind the staring wheel glanced over at me, letting her opening in traffic pass her by.
“Can I say hi to your dog?” I asked.
