So Far, So Real

It's a Sunday morning and I'm getting ready to shower and then I'm off to the magazine for my part-time job. Yes, I got it!

I also got approval to work on articles during the time I'm punched-in at the office, which is something I was doing for free before. At the time I was struggling to grasp some of what I love about life and myself. I was willing to write for free just to stay in the game. Now, I'm able to get paid! Hurray!!

So, some pretty amazing things have happened this week. Last Wednesday I got out of work early because my class was in ratio and I wasn't needed (that's a whole other story). Anyway, I'm driving to my mother-in-laws and I hear on the radio "Caller 20 get tickets to Cirque Du Soleil." Of course I called because for one thing, who doesn't love winning things on the radio and also, I really wanted to see the show! The line was busy for about 20 attempts and finally it RANG! It range and range and rang some more. I contemplated hanging up and trying again, but then I thought to myself, "Stick it out." Then... the dj picks up and says "Hello." And of course they never just say "hello" when you calling in for a contest unless you won!

The show was that night! I didn't realize before I had called in. So my husband, sister-in-law and I rushed to get ready so we could pick up the tickets on time.

I could finish with "The show was AMAZING," but there's more.

When we got there, my sister-in-law happened to know a girl who was part of security. This wonderful person got us Free nachos, Free pretzels and Free drinks!

IT WAS AWESOME!

The lesson here is if you just keep looking up and hold on to a positive attitude about life, unlikely and exciting things can happen! You just need to let them.
