I ask my angels and then it is! It is amazing that when you ask and you believe, it will be done! My roommate went away for a few days, only to return telling me she needed to move back and she was going to live with her son and his family...they needed her help! As the story unwinds, it all changes, which really has no relevance other than the fact that my belief in people and how easily they lie is once again, reaffirmed. I got upset inside and turned to a supposed friend...Please...be my roommate...I have not heard from that person since! That's ok...history shows that this person really is not a friend anyway! Wednesday, before I left my office, I put my request in writing and put it in my angel box. This is something I learned to do about five years ago...I then made a couple of contacts on C's list of folks that needed a room...I went home to prepare my dishes for a lovely Thanksgiving with my uncle and neice...in the middle of baking and my house filled with boxes of roommate's belongings, my phone rings and this very nice couple was calling and they needed a place ASAP! I talked a bit with him, and he was going to speak with his wife when she got home from work....I told him we would speak again on Saturday, as I was going out of town...then I thought for a while and I called him back...would you like to come NOW? I explained the "mess" but he said that was fine... They came over and I immediately liked them both! They seemed to like me, my doggies and my home! They said that they had made a committment to view two other places but that they would call me either way. I left the next morning to go to my Uncle's home and just as I was arriving, my phone rang! The wife was on the line and she said "we would like to be YOUR roommate!" I cannot tell you how happy I felt then and the more I see of them, the happier I feel!!!!! The old roomie left and returned Sat. morning to pick up the last of her belongings and not half an hour later, the new couple shows up with a money order in hand!!!! by 6 PM, they were here with all their belongings and we are all so happy and relieved! The universe, with God watching over it, even in the midst of so many tragic incidents going on around us, is an awesome thing! So, remember to ask and to listen and you will be fine!!! Love to all.... Mimi xoxox
