Here's an example of the sort of thing that happens to me ALL the TIME. These events make me think there may be a law of attraction, but conjuring this sort of thing on purpose doesn't work real well for me.
I spend a lot of time driving, thinking and daydreaming much of the time. This morning's theme was the first summer I went to college in a town about 70 miles from here (I started college in summer rather than in fall), which I was thinking about partly because it got flooded this week. My thoughts went something like:
"I was real happy that summer, if I made a list of my top 10 happiest times in my life, that summer would be in there, it was so cool to get away and be on my own in a new place, and it was a small campus community in summer, kind of like a Utopia, and wouldn't it be cool if there were a place like that I could move to, and I met Bob [still one of my closest friends] that summer, and every Wednesday we used to watch Starsky & Hutch [because I had a big giant crush on Starsky], and Tami used to write me all the time, and that last year in high school we used to have friendly arguments about who was hotter, Starsky or Hutch, and man, I should really get in touch with Tami again, it's been way too long, and I remember this picture my Dad took of me that summer [I just ran across this picture recently] when he'd gotten that new Polaroid and was taking pictures of everybody and everything, and I was holding up a picture of Starsky & Hutch and I can tell by the look on my face I was seriously tired of that camera, heh, and boy was I skinny back then, and I went out with Randy, who was my first college boyfriend, if you want to call him a boyfriend, because we only went out for three weeks, and he had that awesome Z28 Camaro which over the next few years got totally rusted out for some reason, which must've really made him irritated."
Then I stopped at a rummage sale, got back in the car, looked in the side view mirror, and damn if I didn't see a _____________ . I was so surprised I went out loud, "ACK!"
There really are only two things I could've seen that would wrap this up perfectly, and it is the more unlikely of the two.
