The universe takes care of itself
Have I mentioned my beautiful little puppy Kira lately? She continues to bring us lots of joy but in a true Pomsky manner has an abundance of energy and is a bit of a scamp.
Her latest habit, dare I mention it on social media, is scouring the house for underwear. I’ve gone to great pains to hide these silken delicacies but even this morning caught her happily chomping on what I thought had been a well-hidden pile of laundry.
I estimate that over the past month, I have lost approximately ten pairs. In an attempt to rectify the situation, I took a trip to the Halifax Shopping Center last weekend. Imagine my surprise when passing by Victoria’s Secret, I saw a sign that read: ‘Buy 3 pairs of underwear, get 5 pairs FREE!’
I assumed it had to be a gimmick, perhaps an effort to get rid of their worst inventory, but no it was just an amazing deal. For $60 after tax, I left smiling with sixteen new pairs in tow.
Suddenly all the stress associated with Kira’s mischief faded away. Even this morning when she jumped 5 feet to the top of my bureau, I smiled thinking, gotcha! I’m still six pairs ahead!
Sometimes in life, the world can feel overwhelming. It’s at exactly these times that I open my mind to the possibility of the universe correcting itself. A part of me wasn’t surprised by the amazing deal at the mall. The universe was simply putting my week upside right again.
How often do you look for signs that the universe is operating in your favor? It may be happening more often than you think.
