Every Sunday I drive into town. Sunday is my boy's night out. I always leave at about the same time. Last night I misplaced my car keys and had to find them. This delayed my departure for about 15 minutes. Its a winding little two lane country road into town from where I live. I get four miles out onto this road and there's a huge accident that shut the whole road down. Two people killed in a nasty head on wreck. I did some quick math and timing. If I had not lost my keys, I would have been with-in seconds or so of this event at this place on the road. The driver that crossed the road would have been in my lane.

I just remember how angry I was about not finding my car keys for 15 minutes.
I only can't find them once a year or so.

I didn't win on the lotto ticket I had bought the day before. This is what was covering the keys so that I couldn't see them in the open, and I don't buy lottery tickets very often.


I think that was the winning ticket in a very strange sort of way.

It just wasn't your time.

I was supposed to do a training seminar
in the Marriot across the street from the WTC on 9/11.
But I missed the last flight out on 9/10.

Gives reason to appreciate what we have.

AMEN! I heard the quote once that "Coincidence is God working anonymously..." I've had too many "coincidences" in my life similar to that.
Anyway, glad you're still with us as opposed to roadkill.
