Twos

I was just reflecting today on how things have been happening in twos (but then physically writing "twos" just now feels so weird i may have to change how i write this!)
Anyway...

For example - 

I got here to LA and had dinner with someone, first it was going to be at a restaurant, then it switched to a bar. So i went to the bar and had dinner. Then a week or so later, i had lunch with someone else. We were supposed to go to a restaurant, but then when we met there, we found it was being demolished. Right next door was the bar where i had eaten dinner before, so we went there, without me having said anything about being there last week. Ok, the same street, same bar out of ALL the bars in LA?!

I had another dinner one night last week at someone elses house. This week, when i went to look at my new space to rent, and i got the text with the address, my jaw dropped. Just so happens that my new room i'm renting is two doors down from the house i had dinner at last week. So i am going to be living next to my friend i had dinner with!

Then I met someone who wanted to go for a swim after work, they said to meet at Ocean Park. The only reason i knew exactly where that was, was because when i first got here and was exploring, i happened to drive all the way down Ocean Park Blvd to the ocean for no reason whatsoever, where there's a beach park. I parked and walked across the beach to check out the Pacific, for no particular reason whatsoever again. I didn't really think much about it but the person i went swimming with was pretty impressed i knew exactly where Ocean Park was without even asking! Ok, so the same beach park out of all the beach spots/lots/parks in Santa Monica and Venice??!

A little weird?? Things happen like this to me all the time...

One time i decided to donate $40 for my yoga class, just because i was so appreciative of what it was doing for me. The suggested donation is only $15. Later that day, someone bought some of my scrap fabric i had, they had been looking for fabric like it for years. We randomly came up with $40 for the two pieces. I reflected a few hours later on how i had just donated the $40, and then just got it back!!! 

The wealth of gratitude and giving...
