Good News When We Least Expect It

Today three things arrived that made me feel a whole lot better.

I’ve been in bed, sick with a brutal virus that has required me to cancel all my coaching clients for the week, take hot baths and gargle a lot to try and get my voice back.  But I digress.  The three things were all, unto themselves no big deal, but as they each arrived within 15 minutes of each other, I really took notice.

The first thing that arrived was a parcel in the mail.  A small book from dear friends on PEI, who thought we’d get some use of a book that they’ve known and loved for a long time.  It came to me out of the blue and put a smile on my face.  Good news on the friend front.

The second thing that arrived was a phone call from my doctor’s office saying I do NOT have strep throat.  This also made me relieved and happy as I’m not a fan of taking antibiotics. Good news on the health front.

And the third thing that arrived was really good news from my husband as he returned from giving a presentation.  The folks he had presented to had  just voted to move forward with the project.  Good news on the work front.

And so, as I write this blog, I appreciate the three good news messages that came to me today.  Maybe the fact that all three were unanticipated makes it all the sweeter.  What I do know is that they showed up just at the right time… when I most needed them.

I think I’ll go sit by the sunny window and read a good book. Erectile Dysfunction
