My biggest one is my diagnosis with Dystonia. At first I was so angry and sad....but now I see all the blessings because of it. All the special people I have met and without the diagnosis, I wouldn't have been pushed to write, wouldn't be starting my photography business, etc. I could go on and on. :-) This is an awesome post, full of wisdom.

A few times we were headed out to go but one thing or another kept making it difficult to the point where we just gave up and didn't go. Each time it turned out there was a very good reason why we were not supposed to go. Once a terrible snow storm blew up and if we had gone we would have been in the middle of it on the way home. I came down with the flu once and would have had to make the trip home in misery (not to mention exposing my folks to the bug) and one other time that stands out clearly, the very next day the tie rods broke in the car which I figure could have happened on that long trip (which included some bumpy country roads). So yes indeed.....grace, a gift from the universe, divine intervention....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-41530603493785552762012-04-09T05:12:06.696-07:002012-04-09T05:12:06.696-07:00Wow, what an interesting post.

My smoke detector kept going off one night in the middle of the night - there didn't seem to be any smoke and I wasn't sure whether to disrupt the condo complex by calling the fire department, so I took it down and popped the battery out. And then it went off again! The battery had somehow slid back in so it was touching the whatchamacalit. So I opened windows (though it was freezing out) and called the gas company the next morning. Turns out I had a gas leak - a rather dangerous one. And the smoke detector shouldn't have gone off for that. That was definitely my guardian angel and grace, for sure.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984802196897920610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1504985949691119699.post-40387696922798447712012-04-09T02:25:08.502-07:002012-04-09T02:25:08.502-07:00OMG, if that isn't the Universe working it'...OMG, if that isn't the Universe working it's magic to protect you, then I don't know what is!
