Did you know the universe has both a bosom and open palms?

I generally like coincidences and however small they are I might still weight them with importance. I like to think there’s sort of a loose plan that the universe has me on. I may zig and zag around it a bit but someone out there puts little mile markers there to let me know I’m not too far off. The coincidences remind me that the universe might be nestling me in its figurative cozy bosom. Ok, sometimes it feels more like I'm being shoved about with an open palm but whatever. I'm on my way. But about that coincidence, and this is a very little one – a friend of mine was wearing almost the same shade of nail polish as me this past weekend. I haven't worn nail polish in years (fear of toxins in my case) and she hadn't worn it in ages either. Yes, a very small little coincidence but added to a growing list of things we have in common. Let me count the ways...

1. both only children
2. She got out a 10-yr relationship a few years back after trying and trying to make it work, my 5-yr relationship ended in September after similar effort to save it
3. Mild driving phobias
4. Kind of quiet people, at least at first
5. Similar approach to workplace socializing in that we don't do it any more than we have to (though I'm trying to force myself to be more of a networker)
6. and the aforementioned blue nail polish
