For some reason, two sections of the "Be An Angel" missive evaporated. Here
is the complete version.
I am learning to slow down in life: chewing slower, breathing deeper, walking slower and trying to reach 10,000 steps.
Last week, I felt like an Angel right off the TV Show Touched by An Angel, when Monica and Tess arrived in time to save/change/improve a life. I saw a woman walking near an alley corner with her eyes focusing on her cell phone.
"Cars speeding down
the hill wiz around this corner without looking,” I said. “They can't see you because the building blocks you from their view. You might want to move over.”
She looked up, and distractedly said, "Thank you" and moved to a safer area.
Before you could snap your fingers, a car sped around the corner right where the woman would have been!
Shocked, realizing the timing of our brief encounter,
she exclaimed, "You were right! Thank you!"
Yup! I felt like an Angel!
Then a few hours later (trying to reach 10,000 steps) I saw a car pulling out of a driveway, flanked by fluffy green trees blocking it from the view of an oncoming vehicle. They were on a collision course!
I wildly gestured with two bags of groceries, part sign language and part crazy lady at them and they both stopped
on the spot avoiding an accident.
Each morning I pray to be a vehicle, a blessing, in others' lives. Apparently it works!
The next day, I was buying two pound blue weights and standing with them at the check out wondering how I could learn how to tighten that wiggly skin under the arms.
I say “Halo” to the lady (total stranger of course) behind me and comment on how fit she is. She
responds, “I am a personal trainer.”
What are the odds!
So, I told her about the wiggly arm bit and she grabs the weights and shows me how to properly work my arms for the best benefit. Right there in the line up!
What a miracle! Divine timing! Angels were hard at work!
Some days you are the Angel, and some days you need an Angel. Be an Angel in someone's
life today.
And yes, I made the 10,000 steps! I am going for that new age healthy-sexy grandma look! LOL
Maybe I will see you out walking one day too! And if you know any publishers or editors interested in my awesome pet newspaper column, I am open to that miracle too!
Tell them you know this miraculous sexy grandma with an amazing pet
column that has a sense of humor! LOL
