Synchronosity

Did I spell that correctly? not sure, it's late and I should be in bed but find myself antsy tonight. The sychronosity bug bit me again this past week and everytime it does, it shocks me. My "woo woo" friends would say that it is "meant to be" but I am always a bit surprised.

For example, I've been wanting to go to the new Academy of Sciences and my love John took me there on Friday but two days before we went, I received an email from an old co-worker of mine, John, who is now Telecomm manager there. I could hardly believe my eyes at seeing his signature line. My John and I enjoyed the museum, the passes old co-worker John left us and I enjoyed the conversation I had with John, former co-worker. I was able to share with him how thankful I was for a chance lesson he taught me.

Many years ago - at least 12 years, I learned a powerful lesson from John, my former co-worker. He and I took a side trip to Sedona while we were attending a conference in Scottsdale, we stopped in the local ice cream shop to get an ice cream cone. We were waiting patiently in line for our cones (it was at least 100 degrees in Sedona that day - ugh!) when a man walked in and demanded to be waited on because he was next in line, he didn't realize we were all in queue waiting for cones. He started yelling, cursing and screaming at the poor woman behind the counter when John, my co-worker, walked over and apologized to him and offered to buy him a cone. When John offered him that cone, the man looked around, noticed the people and the line, and started apologizing profusely and offered to buy us our cones. John completely diffused this man's anger. I was amazed. Instead of being defensive, John understood and calmed the man, making everyone feel calm again. I'll never forget that and it even stops me from becoming impatient or defensive in that position myself as we can all misjudge a situation because we are not being aware of our surroundings.

But why did John come into my life at this juncture I wonder? Did he need to hear my thankfulness for his lesson or did I need to receive his passes??? I don't think it was the passes because it was a quiet day.

Second synchronosity: Daxa came to tell me about a sad phone call from Carol she had this past week. I felt bad and wished I could comfort Carol in some way, offer words of comfort and encouragement and suggested to Daxa that we get together with her as quickly as possible. But, lo and behold, when I went to get my massage at Indian Springs this past Saturday for my birthday, who was sitting out in front with her husband Joe but our sweet Carol. I was able to give her a hug and Joe some kind words and I felt some relief at doing that.

Thank you Jesus, for putting them in my path this weekend. I know your hand is in both of these circumstances, helping me make peace, healing and amends where needed. Why you step in is always a wonder to me though and why.
