Isn't it great to be validated. When you know or feel something, but someone else takes the time to acknowledge it. Like when I put on my Sunday best and my 3 & 6 year old boys tell me how beautiful I am. Or, when you get a new hair cut that you love and everyone else tells you how great it looks. Or, when you've been working hard to wear a smile and someone notes how happy you look. Those things are great! I love it when that happens.
So yesterday I had lunch at a place where a fortune cookie comes with the meal. For some reason I didn't get my cookie... so my lunch date (hey Shellie) pointed it out to her cashier. The cashier exclaimed that I should get a double fortune, and handed over two fortune cookies.
Fortune #1 - Your mind is always active and gathering information from many sources.
Fortune #2 - You have a great deal of energy and self-reliance.
I don't care that they were not actual fortunes... I see them as a validation from the universe. It's the attempt of the universe to let me know it sees my diligence. - Maybe it is God speaking to me, but I'd rather not "risk" saying God speaks through fortune cookies. I know anything is possible, but I'm going to choose to believe it's a validation from the universe about the vibes I put out there :-)
Thanks to the fortune cookie fairy for making my day!

ReplyDeleteDeborah,
ReplyDeleteThanks for following the journey. I am glad to have your here and to be able to follow yours as well. The speed at which this adoption is taking place is an example of divine intervention, and not due to my organization skills (though those are pretty impressive too :-)
Dean Smith, coach at Chapel Hill taught me to "point to the passer" so I want to thank the fine staff at my agencies, the birth family, my husband and God, it is they who are making it possible for me to be a mother to this beautiful family.
