results that follow

Things happen...sometimes they're to be expected and others don't seem to be the product of anything. All these situations or in cases of late, annoyances, have results while most of the time I overlook. Two cases in the last week...

Scenario 1:
For being an organization fanatic, admittedly I have moments of extreme disorder. Recently I "lost" my post office box key. I use parentheses because they're not really lost, just missing and I haven't had the necessary time to look in less obvious places. Since my keys aren't available I somehow managed to convince my husband let me borrow his set. And wouldn't you know I misplaced his as well.
I finally broke down and started a desperate search before he figured out what's going on. Early in the hunt I found the original source of all this drama, my lost keys, go figure.

Scenario 2:
Excitedly I approached the mail to get my next disc of Inspector Lynley. (nerd alert!) To my surprise it wasn't exactly there. The only remnant of my mail was a torn up, red piece of paper with my mailing address. No disc, no sleeve, no envelope. I wasn't terrible concerned, having been a member since 2006 and a friend employed there I knew I'd be taken care of. However I was bummed to not be watching it that night.


Result 1: When I located the keys I also stumbled on a twenty dollar bill I didn't know I had.

Result 2: After reporting the issue I was sent a replacement disc along with some additional ones for my trouble.

Obviously these are first world problems so I'm not looking for sympathy. In fact after the initial frustrations both situations were really entertaining. My take away from all this was unexpected joy... from something that bothered me, something I hadn't planned on, something that changed my direction/plans.

I feel like there's a lot of that going on currently. I'm pretty sure all this uncertainty and anxiety is prepping me for a major breakthrough. Maybe it'll be like the twenty, in that it is something I forgot I possessed and have the chance to rediscover. Maybe it'll be like the bonus disc and I'll be gifted something beyond expected. Maybe both...Who's to say?
