I just could not get that

I just could not get that


I wanted to get out of the house today and get some photos. I went for a drive and couldn't think of one place I wanted to be. How sad is that?

For a day that was supposed to be rain, rain, and more rain. It actually turned out pretty nice. And I feel lost; I guess that is the only way to describe it. I don't want to be home, I also don't know where I want to be.

I know I should be home doing housework, since the weekend is really the only time to do most of it so not to disturb my landlord. This is because I work such weird hours.

So I end up at old faithful, my favorite beach while I listen to the sound of the tide coming in. As I sit here there are other people all around coming and going. I look out at the water with the layer of fog and the few scattered clouds. And my mind is thinking of all the things I should be doing at home and not of the beauty of the beach.

So I am sitting at the beach texting with a friend who is giving me a list of places to get some nice shots and I all of a sudden I needed to leave. Not sure why, not sure what is propelling me to feel this urgency. I just had a feeling I had to be somewhere else.

I knew before I went home I had to stop at the store and pick up milk, so I stop at the mall. I run in to pick up the milk and as I walk by the store where my niece works, I look in and she is working and from the look on her face I can tell not having a good day. I walk in the store and she jumps up comes towards me. “I need a hug Aunty” I give her a hug and she starts crying. Good thing the store was not busy. We talk for a few minutes and she is telling me what had just happened between her and her boyfriend. She doesn’t know what to do. I told her that sometimes we need to just step back and try to look at the situation from the outside. As if what is happening, is happening to a friend. What would be your advice to your friend?

She wants to know how I did it on my own when my were small. I told her I just made it work. I was very fortunate to have a good support system from friends and a few family members. I told her that I had decided being in a bad marriage was not giving my a proper base to learn from. I told her she is a strong woman, a wonderful mother and I trust she will make the right decision for her and her . No one else's opinion matters. The store started to get busy so I told her that I was only a text away. If she needed anything, I am a good sounding board and a great listener.

I picked up my milk and came home. I am feeling grateful. I ended up where I needed to be when I needed to be there. All things happen for a reason, the reason I felt lost earlier in the day was because the event which needed my attention had not happened yet. Now I feel settled. I can focus on something else.

Does anyone else ever get that feeling like I did?

Yes I have had that feeling.

I am glad that you were there at that moment, cause it sounds like your niece need it you. See, sometimes life just works in wonderful ways.

Yes, sometimes I have an overpowering feeling that something is not right and when I call that person I am thinking of, something is not right. Trust your gut ..... or whatever you want to call it .... psychic ability ...... ??

Drop in and visit my blog sometime, but you'll probably regret it

LOL, don't think I will call it psychic ability, instincts maybe. I just didn't know why I couldn't get past that feeling until I talked to her. I am glad I could be there for her though.

Everything and everyone is connected. We are supposedly the most connected human beings in history, due to our technology, but sometimes it just gets in the way.

In a way, yes, we are all connected. True with the technology as well. Sometimes it is nice to be able to connect from almost anywhere and sometimes not so nice...
