Yesterday was an extraordinary day

It started with……..
Was on the road back from Dublin. As I drove along the motorway I spotted a pigeon heading on a collision course with my car. I just knew he was going to hit either the windscreen or the side of the car. I went to swerve into the outside lane. But out of the corner of my eye I saw a shadow in the outside lane. The sun was rising directly behind me, so that shadow had to a truck. Mid swerve, I swerved back into my lane, just as a juggernaut whizzed past in the outside lane. My side mirror is in smithereens. The pigeon is gone to pigeon heaven. I’m alive. Had to pull over and take a few deep breaths after that.

It ended with…………
The club that I dance with doing a sponsored dance in the town centre. A first for me. Bit scared but just did it anyway. Anyway a woman I first met a week ago met me there at the public dancing, as planned. She had answered my ad in the Personal section of the local paper the previous week. We had met twice before yesterday and yes - there was chemistry there. We were both so real about ourselves. It was so special, so rare. Up to then we had agreed that it was “just friends - ok”. But after seeing me dance and hearing what had happened on the way down from Dublin she made her decision. And I made mine in response. We sealed our decision with a long kiss. She will bring her son to my house to meet my daughter next weekend.

For such a special day - thank you, God, Allah, the Gods of Nature, Fate, Luck or whatever makes these special days happen.
