No, this isn't a journal entry about Douglas Adams, but it does seem like that title is becoming more and more appropriate for my life so I thought I would blog about it for a while and see where it took me.

Recently I've been learning about seeing where things take me, see? Like, what happens when I actually trust that good things will happen if I step out and act on it? I'm not talking blindly hoping that things will work out - denial is not the same as faith. I'm talking about doing what you know is right in your life (hard work included) and trusting that the outcome will be what it's supposed to be.

Like when I finally stepped up and stood up for what I knew was right at work. I lost my job because of that decision. Yet, having done that, I feel like I lost a ton of weight. It's only been a week and a half. The wheel has not ceased turning on this yet, but daily I am learning about trusting God and the Universe (both, the same, whatever). 

1) My last day at work, I came home to a free sample of cat food on my doorstep.
2) I keep getting just enough freelance writing work to keep the wolves at bay.
3) Cards and calls and emails come from friends at just right time.
4) Checks show up at just the right time.
5) Yesterday, Sunday, I was running a little late going to the farmer's market down the street. It was overcast. My budget for my shopping was $20 and that included what I could get at farmer's market AND the necessities across the street at the drugstore. Well, the vendors at the market were packing it up cuz it was cloudy and selling off their produce for $1/pound. I got 5 pounds of produce then went across the street where I found my necessities (things like cans of soup and cat food etc) on a "buy one get one free" sale.

That doesn't mean I can just sit back and wait for the good things to happen. I get the distinct impression that these cool serendipitous happenings  are occurring because I am doing the work. I am spending each day either getting my resume out there or sending my writing out there or doing something towards taking care of myself.  Seeking the essence of health in my life - whether healthy in body, mind, spirit, finances, soul - doing something towards my goals.  

It's only been a week and a half. It's scary. I may need to ask for help. But I have to say it's a fantastic learning experience about life, the universe, and everything.

I never post here because I'm usually spending time reading other things and posting elsewhere, but this time I thought it would be good to post some good news here.  Thing is, I'm posting it everywhere else as well.  I have spent all morning in front of this thing called a computer whilst reading friends words on Blogger and Live Journal and MySpace and Tribe.  So, I'm being lazy.  Here's what I posted on my own blog this morning and I'm cross posting it everywhere: http://puttputtproductions.com/blogetary/2007/06/23/luck-fickleness-ineffability-nonsequitur-and-stuff/
