Being at the right place.....at the right time

Well, we've all gone through this, but we don't realize it quite often. It's strange when things mysteriously work together and brings us to right places at the right time to meet the right people. The big memorable moments in one's life, come in small surprises. 

Sometimes they bring in good...like:
1. Walking into a random building and getting a job you weren't aware of.
2. Finding a new friend with no previous introduction or acquaintance.
3. Helping a stranded woman with her flat tire or a stranger who met with an accident.
4. Running into your childhood friend or a teacher, you had lost contact years ago.
5. Most of all...our very existence in this beautiful life and the people who turn out to be our relatives and loved ones.

But sometimes, these so called "memorable pre-planned moments" backfire too...like:
1. Running into your boss at a movie theater or a football game, while in sick leave.
2. Meeting a loud gossipy friend while sitting in need for quiet privacy time.
3. Things going wrong when they're not supposed to (people in IT can speak for this).
4. Being pulled over for speeding by a cop who had a bad day, even though you were driving "with the flow of traffic".
5. Finding yourself short of an exact change of 25¢ to pay for the toll, and ending up paying a fine amount of $25.

Ultimately these surprises whether good or bad, does end up bringing a smile on our face, a tear in our eyes, a person as a lifemate, a friend for all seasons, a shoulder to rest, arms to hug, a lesson learnt....or at the worst,  a slap on our cheeks. :)

It’s just being there at the right time to accept it whole-souled.
