practice pronoia

A few really wonderful things have happened to me since I’ve started trying to consider the universe to be working on my behalf:

1. I went to a lecture at a local university and was unable to find unrestricted parking. After driving around for 15 minutes, I gave up and parked in a restricted spot, got out of my car and found $80 cash. I literally stepped right on it. I waited around but no one came to claim it, and no one has put up a notice seeking it. Score one for terrierhead. Thanks universe!

2. I got back from a quick walk to get a sandwich to arrive right on time for a meeting that I’d noted wrong on my calendar. It really turned out to be a stroke of luck, and there’s no way that my timing could have been better.

3. My dog, Taffy Terrierhead, lost her tags on a walk, and someone anonymously put them on our porch. :-)

4. The weather has been relatively mild for January and I’ve been able to walk the Taff-ster without worrying about slipping on ice.

Yay!

I’ve noticed that anger is a major motivating force for me. Instead of seeing it as a negative, I will try to see anger as my cue to do something different. For example, if I’m mad about a social condition, it’s my cue from the universe to make a difference rather than just to stew about it.

I’m going to have to learn more about pronoia.

This will be work for me. My philospophy so far has been more along the lines of the malicious universe.
