Cathy: The Universe works in mysterious ways
I will kvetch no more — this week anyway — as after my last two days of considering every option and feeling like I had none left, suddenly:
a friend offered to barter my tutoring her 13-year-old daughter for watching my 2-year-old daughter on writers’ group days. So I don’t need to find and pay for immediate daycare just so I can have a few hours of writing and critique time a couple of times a month.
aaaand!
drumroll, please…..
Honey’s cousin needs some of Honey’s professional expertise on a public speaking gig in Colorado in a couple of weeks. And he offered to let me tag along, too. I will go to his public speaking gig, but largely, I am going to blissfully sit in my hotel room, without any interruptions and edit the bejeez out of my manuscript on Honey’s laptop!!!
and Grandma offered to watch the kids for that weekend.
I hope I didn’t die, because this sure feels like heaven.

Amen! Amen! Amen! I’m thrilled for you. Timing is everything, and this is your time. You are in heaven. The heaven that connects the right people at the right time to do the best for all involved. Blessings on your trip.
Thank you, alexsondra, I am thrilled, too!
yee-haw! that’s great!!!
thank you, jen! hee-hee 😉
life is what we make of it. glad things are lining up! 🙂
yep! thanks, kelly! i love serendipity.
that sounds like paradise. recently i was thinking about the things i used to covet when i was younger. those things are totally irrelevant to me now; i only covet time. so glad you worked out a creative solution!
time is the most precious commodity to me these days! thanks, aimee
Hurray Cathy! It was good for me to read this-it gives me hope that timing is everything and at JUST THE RIGHT TIME things will fall into place.
excellent way to look at it, robin! thanks.
