synchronicity

Chopra teaches us that synchronicity is the foundation of life. Let me be a little more specific: nothing that happens to us is coincidence. Have you ever noticed that when you're in need of something somehow whatever you need comes into your path? Sure it may not happen exactly at the moment you want it to happen, but it happens when it's supposed to. So in my life things have worked out that way. For instance: I applied to do my clinical placement where I have my job currently. Needless to say, my application got lost in the shuffle. Months later I end up calling the HIV dept about something and my name rings a bell with Darla. I applied for a job and lo and behold--my career! So I tell this story because I believe that things happen to us and people come into our lives when it's supposed to happen. I have been so very blessed to have the love, friendship and support of my department (and really the whole clinic) that perhaps I may not have received should I have been elsewhere. This is synchronicity. Plain and simple.
Cancer has taught me to be more forgiving and less resentful. Mind you, not that I was carrying around a bag of resentments, but we all have our things to carry with us. I have learned a lot.
Tomorrow, I will learn what I always preach: beauty is not on the outside. Just remind me of that when I will be bald and boob-less. And really,  I'm in love with my boobs. But who else can head into their 40's with new boobs and  a head of new hair? Damn! I'm one lucky girl!    Mardi Gras, Here I come!
