Sunday morning, I was in my beach town, so I ran down to the post office
to buy a Sunday Chronicle out of the newspaper dispenser machine thingie. Another guy was parking at the same time, and we walked up together.
“I’ll bet we want the same paper,” I said.
“The Chronicle,” the guy said.
“Yup.”
I had scraped up all the quarters, dimes and nickels from the cup holder in my car to get the $3 to plug
into the coin slot, so I waved the other guy to go ahead.
“I have to use this,” I said, showing him my palm full of change.
The man plugged the coin slot 12 times with quarters.
“There might only be one paper in there,” I said, “in which case I will have to go somewhere else.”
He opened the door and said, “Two papers.”
He held the door open for me to take the other paper.
“Okay” I said, “but I’m still going to put the money in. I want good karma.”
The guy didn’t say anything, just left with his paper.
That was Sunday.
Monday, I gave away a couple hundred dollars’ worth of fabric to a sewing circle that makes dresses for third world girls.
Tuesday, I got an email that I had won a $200 shopping trip in a drawing I’d signed up for at a local department store.
See how it works? The universe likes my positive energy and rewards me with positive energy.
It doesn’t always work out so neatly as this week. But when it does, it’s really sweet.
Try it!
FIRST DATE, WORST DATE EVER!
