Law and order

Today I am divine order. Between witness and order, and (not) being judgemental, I am almost the whole justice system by myself :)

Divine order scared me at first, just seeing the word. I was picturing a day of decluttering and cleaning. I am very organized in my mind. It just doesn't translate too well into the actual world. I spend too much time planning and not much time doing. I am the Queen (I'll pause now as you bow in my presence) of buying cards (Christmas, Birthday, you name it). getting them written, addressed, stamped....and then not getting them in the mail. I love finding cards for people, I actually enjoy writing the holiday cards. I normally have these things well in advance. Then I think...I can't send this now, it's too early. I'll just get these done and ready to go. Then my next thought is, well if I send this now, it will get there 3 days late. No one will believe I had it ahead of time. As I write this, I still have my grandmother's Mother's day card on my dresser. Almost 2 weeks after the fact.

Divine order had nothing to do with that. Divine order is allowing the universe to unfold at it's pace, and accepting that things happen the way they are supposed to. Is it really a coincidence, or is it a plan bigger than your own vision coming to fruition?

Today I had errands to run, and in the back of my mind there was the fact I needed to get my nails done (and if my mom reads this, I know they aren't really my nails, but at least I can't bite these ones....). Then I decided that I would just go home. So I turned down the street to head home, and find that the next intesection has been closed by the police (for construction, nothing horrific). So I have to turn to go up to the next major street. Due to other construction, and the traffic being diverged, the next major interection was a mess, and I figured, hey just turn right, get out of this, and just get your nails done.

While I was sitting there, a girl I used to work with walked in. I hadn't seen her for almost a year (she left before I did). We had a really nice chat, and it was lovely to not have it filled with the negative work talk that would have existed if we were both still there. I got her contact info, and she suggested that we should get together sometime.

I am going to take her up on that. In the past, I would have though "Oh, she's just being polite." I am going to keep in touch with her. We'll see where this goes.

As we were catching up, she mentioned that another former colleague of ours had recently lost her father. I took the opportunity tonight to give her a call and offer my belated condolences. She seemed a little surprised to hear from me, but I think she appreciated that I called.

So a chance meeting and a phone call that wouldn't have otherwise happened. Oh and my nails look lovely!

The law (traffic officers) helped create divine order.
