If it wasn't for fate , it could have been very interesting

Hi girls ,

Last week as you recall a girl in green school uniform by the name of Merinda did a photosession in the park and other places .

The photosession was schedualed for today Aug 19 but due to unusual circumstances on August 11 everything fell into place opening an afternoon of opportunity with myself and daughter free to pursue this project early , so I took advantage of the opportunity .

Today at 4:00 pm and again at 4:30 pm I was delivering some goods for work to a house just up the road from the park , I looked towards the parks drinking fountain and saw people everywhere with one person leaning on the fountain.
I thought to myself that I was lucky all those people weren't there last week during my photosession , then it hit me !!

If I had gone to scheduale I would be here right now 4:00 pm Aug 19 with a crowded park to contend with , but thats not all !

If I was here now as Merinda then I wouldn't be at work , therefore someone else would be doing this delivery from my work .
Meaning : I would have spotted by someone from work .

THINGS COULD HAVE GOT VEEEEERY INTERESTING !!!!!

Merinda,

It is always nice when one can see things like that, and realize that it worked out to their advantage.

Thanks for sharing that with us.

Merinda,

I know you may find this hard to beleive, but I am the luckiest person in the world. I have repeatedly had incredibly lucky things like this happen to me. I agree with Darlene that it is very cool that you are able to recognize these things and remember your good luck. I actually count on having good luck now. And whatever circumstance caused you to move the photo shoot up, well, that was just your good luck too.

Love always,
Elizabeth

Everything happens for a reason and this is a good example of that

Back in May when I went public for the first time , the photosession was 2 days later than planned , due to a situation forcing me to pospone it on the proposed date .
I wasn't happy about it at the time but I believe" it was just not meant to be"

2 days later the opportunity became available again, so I got there in the end

Quite the opposite is my luck. One night at almost midnight, I was feeling a little saucy, and dressed in a french maid's outfit. I had never worn anything so daring out in public. Scared and heart pounding, I opened the door to my apartment and looked both ways, the coast was clear. I walked slowly to the back door or my apartment and looked out, nothing. I opened the door and looked at the balconies to see if anyone was there, still safe. I let the door close behind me and lock. It was then I heard a noise. I looked up and saw one of the guys I work with locking his sliding glass door! In a panic I fumbled with the keys, opened the door, and rushed inside and ran to my apartment. I spent several minutes in a complete panic, trying to rationalize that he didnt see me, but he had such a clear view, and from only about six feet away!

I saw him a few days later, and talked to him. I was expecting him to avoid me, or maybe make fun of me, but he didn't. We've talked several times since, and each time not a hint of embarassment or anything peculiar.

Merinda, I can hear the theme from twilight zone, with that guy talking in the background, saying This is Merinda, she...............fate or coincidence.

Kinda earrie(God, I can't spell Earrie)

Love Amelie

Tracy ,
great story , thanks for sending it.

Amelie,

EERIE I think is correct

I think it was just a co-incidence that I was in the area in work-mode , It was good to be able to view what could have been.
Although!
There have been many upon many occasions where unexplainable things happen in my life , ( like the hair clips) ( like the question mark found in my underpants ) and many others I could mention that would make your hair stand on end .
When a corridor of opportunity opens in front of you its best to ride it because it may not be open at a later stage .

Hi Merinda,

That's enough for a fainting spell.

Wow! Glad fate decided to have things work out the way they did.

Tracy, that's a great story. Yikes, you must have really been shaking that night.

I'm glad it all worked out.

Are you glad you did it now that everything is smooth?

I love it here! (oops, I should really stop typing my inner thoughts when posting)

Thanks you two!!!

Beauty
