Serendipity

I just love how the Goddess puts people in my path and I intuitively know that we have much more in common than being female.  We recently hired a young women and right from the moment I met her I knew that she was just like me.  I don't know what it was or why and it doesn't really matter.  All that matters is that I was able to share with her that I am in recovery and it went from there.  It was just a casual conversation, many of my co-workers know that I am a member AA so I don't hide it.  Later, after no one else was around, I could see that she almost had tears in her eyes as she said "those programs saved my life".  My heart was filled with joy and she asked if we could go to a meeting together sometime as she hasn't been in a very long time.  I get goosebumps when I think about it.  How we were brought together.  I just love this poem

A Reason, A Season, A Lifetime?

People come into your life for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.
When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do.

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed outwardly or inwardly. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong -doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up or out and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and it is now time to move on.

When people come into your life for a SEASON, it is because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They may bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But only for a season.LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; those things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person/people (anyway); and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. Thank you for being a part of my life.

So even if we have been brought together for only a season, I know with out a doubt that it is for a greater reason than just a chance meeting.
