Isn't life just full of surprises? I was going through a drawer in my desk on Friday last week and came across a photograph of the daughter of one of my clients, which she sent to me with her Christmas card. I had kept it because she looked so happy and very like her mother who lives in Texas, USA and who I haven't seen for maybe three years.
I thought of my client and wondered how she was and what she was doing. She comes to London periodically but only for a few days at a time and is so busy, she hasn't had chance to look me up. I thought how nice it would be to see her.
This morning there was an email in my Inbox from her. She's in London and wanted to fix an appointment. We've spoken on the phone and she's coming round early tomorrow morning. Isn't that great?
It's very easy to pass this type of occurrence as just co-incidence, but I choose not. There is no knowing what's round the corner, who we're going to meet or what's going to happen. The most surprising and happy events can just occur, probably as easily as sad events. But we don't need to think of those. I like to notice the small co-incidences in life, to acknowledge their existence and to sometimes act on impulse in response to wild ideas, as my subconscious may well lead me to something quite exciting and unexpected....
