A few mornings ago…I was…complaining…about something…something that had 
happened…that I didn’t like…or…perhaps it was something that hadn’t happened…that I wanted to…
Unfortunately…it could be…either…I have been known to whine a bit…at least in my own mind…which should be a safe place to do it…except…that…no thought is safe…from…Bertha…
Anyway…Bertha…interrupted me…mid-whine…to ask…what if this was exactly what needed to happen…what if in a year I looked back on this…and laughed…because…if it hadn’t happened…or not happened…then…the most perfect thing ever…wouldn’t have happened…
Hmmm…
Then she went on to remind me…of seemingly minor things…like last week when I was running a bit late for work…and…came upon a wreck…that made me even later…that…maybe…just maybe…my running late…kept me from being involved in that wreck…
Hmmm…
From there…she was on a roll…pointing out…example after example…from my life and others…of what seemed like a bad thing at the time…turned out to be good in the realm of things…
Hmmm…I think we’ve had this conversation before…but…somehow it set differently with me this time…
It’s about…living in the moment…letting go of expectations of how things should be…and…trusting…that everything is happening…just as it should…
Hmmm…I see some contemplation time in my near future…and…what if…that’s exactly as it should be…

I’ve said this before, but you are so lucky to have such a wise friend, Jane.
