Who Knew SHAMPOO Could Be Magical?!

 
 

Hmmm…the stall I normally use is full…and the next 4!  I take the closest open stall to wet my hair and put my cap on to go swimming.  On the shelf I find a travel size bottle of shampoo and one of conditioner!  I think to myself…ok, if they are still there after I’m done swimming (my hope is that would give someone enough time to get them if they realized they were missing), then I’m totally using them AND taking them!  Not only was the shampoo what I needed, but it was exactly my favorite travel shampoo!!!  I hit the jackpot!  And….no, I don’t normally get this excited about shampoo, but this was magical shampoo and evidence that the Universe has my back!  The Universe is provided for me that day even when I didn’t know I needed shampoo!  I know, I know…I may sound a little crazy, but a quote by Albert Einstein comes to mind, “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.”  I choose the latter!

Let me tell you the back story so you can understand why I thought the shampoo was magical:  As I was walking to the pool to go swimming, I caught myself in negative thinking.  I adjusted from “what if” thoughts to “I wonder if” thoughts and began wondering how great life could be!  I then had a passing thought that I forgot to fill my travel shampoo bottle, and because I was thinking positively, knew I’d have enough!  And, there it was when I got to the gym, more than enough shampoo for after my swim!

And…it gets better…I have a post story as well:  I was leaving for vacation a couple days later and didn’t have enough of the shampoo I wanted to take.  And, there was that shampoo again, like a beacon of light, that fit perfectly in my travel bag!  And then I had double gratitude for the Universe who provided for me when I didn’t know I needed shampoo!

Coincidence or Miracle?  Again, I choose the latter!
