I have been mulling over the interesting day I had recently, and how it related back to the way I interact in the world.
(this differs from my normal post subjects, so if you aren't open to Spirituality you might like to back out of the post now)

I had a day of 'everything flowed really well, and things were truly in sync'. This does not happen often to me, which was why the day was so amazing - and noticeable.
Which led me to ponder the 'why', and the inevitable circling back to the way I both see and interact with the world - or more accurately, the Universe.

The first thing to understand - and this is only from my perspective - is that not everything the Universe helps us with is about BIG miracles or BIG events or MAJOR anythings. (Or stopss with the 'fun' topics like psychics and ghosts, lottery numbers, etc.)
In my personal experience, help can come in the form of something as (seemingly) insignificant as finding a car park just where you need it, getting to an appointment on time even when you know you're running late, or finding the money for a loaf of bread.

I think what it comes down to is going with the flow, and this in turn means hooking into the positive mindset that is often so difficult to find because it is so much easier to fall into that pit of sludge, where negative thoughts can keep you sucked in and unable to move forward.

I AM, I learned long ago, are - used in conjunction - the two most powerful words anyone one of us can utilise.
Lately, and especially when I have been feeling stressed or negative, I have used those two words to realign myself:
I AM focused.
I AM happy.
I know they work on some level because I later realise something has shifted and I am feeling much better.
The long-winded explanation of why the I AM works - which I first learned of while reading the excellent series by Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations With God - is basically that I AM is a statement of the now and therefore you are telling the Universe you have it now, so the Universe makes it so. Saying things like 'I need' or 'I want' is a statement of the future, and the Universe brings you the needing or the wanting. There are other subtleties, and other factors at play, but that would take much better skill than I have at creating riveting explanations. Suffice it to say that I've read many books over the years, and had many discussions with like-minded people, and watched many clips on the topic of spirituality (not to be confused with the religious terminology). I have amalgamated all that information and honed it into a set of beliefs from which to stand on.

So anyway, the day was about seemingly-fortuitous events occurring throughout our trip to the big city. All the things that went right for us might seem silly when retold, or insignificant, but I knew something good was happening, and I am grateful to the Universe for giving us that experience.
