I've spent loads of time there and my grandparents lived there and I worked there during summers in college, and I have very fond memories of the place. Which is about 150 miles away from where I live now. Anyways, later in the day, I passed a semi which was from some small company in Beaver Dam, something I'm not sure if I've ever seen before. Then I was in another city about 50 miles away, and drove by a park I had not been past in many years, which has several of the stone bridges built during the Great Depression that always remind me of one of my favorite childhood parks which is in Beaver Dam. THEN later in the afternoon, back in my current city again, I found myself inadvertently driving on a street called Beaver Dam Drive, which is not anywhere near Beaver Dam Park, and by now of course I'm going WTF?

I have no idea what any of this is about. Skeptics would say it's just coincidence. Maybe it is. I don't know. Today there were no similar occurrences at all, the day was pretty much devoid of coincidences.

This is how it goes for me. When I specifically intend something small, just to play around, my results are negligible. And yet other stuff just starts happening all on its own, it takes off and there are more and more of them, and they mean nothing, and they weren't something I was even thinking about in the first place.

It can get disheartening to read all the success people have with intentionally creating these occurrences, when mine have pretty much always been stuff that just appears for no apparent reason. I suppose it's partly my fault because it's been like this for years and years, and I never really spent any time trying to learn how to focus any of it.
