Semi-Charmed Kind of Life

My husband and I were driving the other day and some woman pulled out into traffic right in front of us. We were driving straight on a busy street and I just don't think she even ever looked in our direction. She just pulled out as she felt like it and we had to hit our brakes so we didn't hit her. I commented how it must be nice to live such a charmed life where everyone just looks out for you all the time.

Then it kind of hit me. I sort of DO have that kind of life. My friends and family look out for me all the time.

Phil recently heard of a job opening at his company and he told me about it and then emailed me the link for the site. Elise's friend had an opening at her company and Elise called me about it and put me in touch with her friend. Neither job really seemed quite right for me at this time, but how awesome to have eyes and ears out like that into the world. My husband's parents also submitted my resume in with their companies. My parents' friend has emailed me about job openings in my area at her company as well.

As soon as I started thinking about all of these things, I really started to feel like the luckiest person is the world. It wasn't that I didn't appreciate these things previously, but thinking about all of these instances together in a big pile made me realize just how charmed my life is right now. And it IS nice! :)
