Sometimes We Need to Reboot, but Someone is Always There to Help You
I am moving in just a few days. It is a big and complicated move. Life will be easier after, but for now it is overwhelming, especially as the authorities have not found my truck yet so I'm doing it all without a vehicle! Or help, it's just me and my boys.
My boys had gift cards to GameStop to redeem, so I took a few hours today to get that done, knowing a new game would keep them out of my hair during this upcoming week of packing and moving.
I hired an UBER to run us home, there was no way I was going to wait out on the sidewalk in the 30 degree wind with a fever.
Our UBER driver picked us up within a minute of stepping outside. He was very friendly so we got to talking about the move and he gave me some killer advice for my terribly limited single mother budget, such as not to hire a moving company as you get what you pay for.
He also agreed that my move is smart, despite the insane hardships of the moment. He said that sometimes we need to reboot our lives in order to level up. You cannot expect to have better performance on an outdated and stagnant device.
Moving is overwhelmingly stressful, especially a complicated one like mine. This little act of kindness from a random encounter could erase so much stress from our situation.
When I got home I told my Sister from another Mister @jewels3 and she replied, "How do things like this always happen to you? You seem to attract all the right people when you need help!" This isn't the first time she has voiced this observation.
I thought about this for a while. She is pretty accurate. When I step outside of my emotional involvement to my life and circumstances, it appears that, yes, there is always someone who comes along and provides assistance.
When you are too close to the project you are not only experiencing the stress and emotions, but you are forced to look at the whole picture.
I believe we all have this within us. We are still alive, aren't we ;) I believe if we open up to the true abundance that fills this universe, when we allow the energy to flow, we open ourselves to receiving just the right person or thing that we need at just the right time.
If we are stubborn and fighting against it, then of course it will be and seem tougher if not almost impossible. It's all about perspective. "If you build it, they will come."
If you allow it, perfect occurrences will come.
And if you do, if you allow yourself to be open, there is going to be a random person or happenstance that appears seemingly out of nowhere. Because you made room for it and set the welcome mat out.
Do you have a story of a random occurrence coming just when you needed it the most? Share in the comments <3

Hey Babe,
I hope you had a lovely Christmas and wish you all the best with the move, I thought it had gone ahead a while ago but obviously I'm a bit behind with the news!
Good luck in 2018 Kitten I'm sure it's going to be your year ❤️❤️
Thank you hun!
I was supposed to be already moved, but this but a couple of pesky blizzards kinda got in the way ;)
Yes! 2018, I'm ready for your blessings and prosperity :)
OK, Cool! Apparently you are one of those people IRL that is much like your online persona! I seem to be doing that as well, being online has made me a better man, and I am having success replicating the 'filter' that I usually use online, in real life. Wishing you much success in this big move, I know it will be! I have MANY of these same happenings in my life, it's an outgrowth of being POSITIVE. You get back what you Project! But it repels some folks, it seems that it's just too much for them. If they are someone I must be around, it takes a different tactic.
Or rather, my online persona is much like me IRL ;) You, since, I was like me before my online self was ;)
Lol!
Yeah, I'm just me. I see no need in pretending to be someone else online. I'm already in overtime each week just being lil ole me ;) The alternative just seems like an awful lot of work!
Thank you! I know all the stress and difficulty of the move will be repaid once I'm settled in and in a much better situation :)
Valiant effort in losing the filter. I have been a professional writer for several years, and I can honestly vouch for the fact that I did not start earning a decent living until I allowed myself into my writings. I was never someone different, what I did was separate myself from my work. But once I overcame that, I started actually being able to pay bills with writing! This just goes to show that people value authenticity :)
Wow, mind blown, you just said "Valiant Effort in *LOSING the Filter"
I actually thought I was applying my filter, but in reality I more likely have lost the bad filter I have IRL. You are probably correct in that observation. The keyboard is still a 'buffer' in that it takes more time to type out a reply/response than to just open my mouth and let 'whatever' come falling out!
*(so glad you did not say 'loosing' that drives me CRAZY!!!) lol
The way I saw it was that you applied a filter between your real you and your online you ;)
You likely have a clearer view than I do, Thanks!
Sometimes we do need that reboot. We are in a rut, our lives are stagnating or we are leaving behind a bad situation. What ever the case may be, when the dust settles we often find that life is so much better. I do believe in karma, that things happen for a reason and help will arrive when we most need it. You'll see. When the dust settles you will see things in a brighter light.
I like this :) I know, it's so impossible right now. But it will be better when, like you said so well- the dust settles :)
I think discovering steemit was totally random with a perfect timing for me.
Especially because next year will surely be very bad economically speaking for my country Venezuela, and because it will surely be a very good year for crypto.
So by being here I can have a good live thanks to steemit.
Besides, I can have fun discussing about different subjects and learning a ton!
Discovering Steemit was one of the best things that has ever happened to me to be completely honest. I plan to write a very in depth and long article before New Years detailing my journey here <3
Oh my, you are from Venezuela. I think I knew that,, I have been following the happenings in your land for several years through friends who live it... I wish you prosperity and blessings through the New Year, and you are absolutely correct- steemit will most definitely assist you there my friend :)
The universe is speaking with us in every one of our experiences. One thing it’s likes to say is get out of your head and learn to trust.
Get out of your head and learn to trust. Well said.
You are a good person, and everything you do to others, comes back to you. The universe will pay back now and everything will be great after the move. You just do your thing and get it over with.
Thank you hun. Your words of encouragement mean a lot <3
@arbitrarykitten why yes I do, but I can't take the time to put out all the details right now. I must go and take care of some errands and then come back home to see if I can get a LONG Nap...................
Ok hun, I am eagerly awaiting your share :) Sleep well
