That's Weird!


Weird: adj- Of, relating to, or suggestive of the preternatural or supernatural, Of a strikingly odd or unusual character; strange.  Of or relating to fate or the Fates.




I have been using this word a lot lately when it comes to many of the things that have been happening in life.   There have been so many things falling into place, aligning themselves and creating situations that are so perfect, yet totally random, that all I can say is weird.  Looking at the definition, it seems to be an accurate fit to many of the things that life has been creating.
Chance meetings with old friends at the exact time you are both in town.
Having to be at an event at the exact place that someone just told you about.
Your password for your google account showing up as it's homepage theme.
Doing exactly what you want to be doing, without even meaning to...
Weird.  Fate.  Odd.
And totally normal.

 I can't help but keep noticing more and more how easy life is supposed to be!  Not that there aren't tough times, or lessons to learn the hard way... but when you let these things happen, when you go with the flow, some how even the hard work gets easier.  When you do what feel right for you, trust yourself, accept your strengths AND weaknesses, everything suddenly becomes necessary.  The more I let go, and let flow... the more I realize that life is supposed to be this incredibly awe inspiring!  I mean, everything just works so perfectly... the plants grow, the birds fly, babies are born, our breath comes and goes, time ticks on... and that is pretty miraculous!!  The earth spins, the stars shine, the oceans tides go in and out... and no matter what we choose to do, all of this somehow keeps going.  What's even more amazing is that to top it off we can fall in love, save lives, change lives, live lives we create... we can assist in these miracles!!  What a gift, that we can either choose to use or put in the closet.  As Albert Einstein so beautifully put it: 
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."








So how's life for you? 
Hopefully full of weird little miracles! ;-)





Today's Silver Lining:
"It’s not that unusual when everything is beautiful, It’s just another ordinary miracle today, The sky knows when it’s time to snow, Don’t need to teach a seed to grow, It’s just another ordinary miracle today.  Life is like a gift they say, wrapped up for you everyday, Open up and find a way to give some of your own." Ordinary Miracle- by Sarah Mclachlan
