Senso1970's Blog   Thoughts, ramblings, and accountability from sunny Madison, AL

As I drive to and from work I like to make use of the alone time to get some thinking done.  It varies from drive to drive, but often I like considering ideas for my blog or vlog.  This morning I was considering such an idea when a funny and reassuring incident happened.  Almost like the Universe gave me a little wink.

I was thinking about focus and how it affects vision.  I remembered when I was considering what car I would get when I had moved down to Washington State from Alaska.  I had left my 98 GMC Sonoma up there and needed a new vehicle.  As I was going to have to drive 60 miles each way to work the Toyota Prius was at the top of my list because of the mileage it got.

Even though I didn’t recall seeing that many Prius before I decided to get one I was seeing them all of the time when I did.  It was so weird.  I mentioned it to a coworker who offered a plausible explanation.  The number of Prius hadn’t changed, I was just noticing them more because I was focused on the Prius as a car to own.

I was remembering that this morning as a blog post idea.  I thought about how I could explain it and decided that a thought experiment would be a good idea.  What you’d do is focus on a car you’d buy right now if you had to get a new car.  It just needed to be one in your price range that you could buy in the area.  So nothing exotic like a Ferrari or anything.  Then a funny thought popped into my head.  I live in northern Alabama now and the people around here love their big cars.  So in my head I jokingly told myself that you’d need to rule out a Smart Fortwo as well because you’d never find one here.  And no sooner had I thought this, a red and black Smart Fortwo drove by.

I might have overlooked it had I not been thinking about it.  So it reassured me of the importance of focus.  It also reminded me a bit about a way I was told to test the Law of Attraction.  And that was to picture something unusual coming into your life.  Something odd that could only be explained by the LOA.  The example that was used was a blue apple.  And shortly thereafter the person received a plastic, blue apple.  An item you aren’t likely to come across arrived in their life in close proximity to wishing for it.

It was the same thing for the Smart Fortwo.  Now keep in mind that I don’t recall ever seeing one between today and when I arrived here in July 2017.  It’s certainly not a common car around here so to drive past one right after thinking that funny thought would be an amazingly huge coincidence if that’s all it was.

But I’m more inclined to think that the Universe was having a little fun with me.  Giving me a little nudge and a wink, if you will.  The message was a reminder that you attract what you focus on, even the unlikely.  So I enjoyed a little chuckle as I drove the rest of the way to work.

The signs and messages are out there if you just stay focused on them and are ready to receive.  Stay open and inviting this week, friends.  Have a great day.  Peace.
