everything happens for a reason

i have always been a firm believer in this
even if sometimes you dont see it
even if the pieces on the puzzel dont line up obviously
they fit together perfectly, eventually..and then you can see why something happened

take today, for example...
i could have easily hopped on the 12 bus going to kiltimagh...
but something inside me said...no
intuition
i have to listen to her more often
so i wandered around town for a little while...
killing time, getting bits of christmas shopping done...
went to sam baileys and had poached eggs (which i cant cook myself, but they do the most amazing ones on the planet) and toast and tea for my breakfast/lunch...
liudas rang me, and asked if i could possibly come down to help while grace was away...
no problem
at all
went to the bus station,
got my ticket for kiltimagh...looked at the time table FOR SUNDAY...everything was fine
waited and waited for the bus to come to stop no.3, and if it wasnt for the "stand clear, luggage doors operate"..i wouldnt have realised that my bus was actually parked at stop 7, way out of my range of vision...
ran up to that
he said that the next bus to kiltimagh, even though i checked it a load of times, wasnt until 5...
0.0
but to run down to the tuam and derry buses that had been sat infront of me for about 15 mins, and see where they were headed...
did that
eventually got on the derry bus and had to ring liudas and tell him that i would be coming in to knock instead...mam arranged to bring some clothes with her to mass and wait in knock til i got there
the bus journey
took
forever
o.O
eventually....eventually
we got there...liudas literally just pulled up as i got out of the bus...mum and dad right behind him...it was all very fluid...like something coreorgraphed...and planned...but it wasnt...it just happened that way...

so we drove to sligo...slowly...
a bit too slowly most of the time
i think people were being that little bit too cautious...

but anyway...
this is my point...
we were driving...everything was taking for AGES...
i thought i should have gotten the earlier bus...and was beating myself up over it a little bit...

but then,
just then...
there it was
the most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my life

it shot right over our heads...slowly...it could have passed itself off as a plane...
but it wasnt
it was a very low meteor...or a comet (if there is a difference?)
and it had this brilliant, firey orange tail that followed it...

oh, god...it was amazing

there arent any words that could give it justice, its absolute beauty...



and there it is...all things happen for a reason
everything
if something lined up, just slightly differently...we wouldnt have seen it...i wonder who else saw it...?
i love when things line up like that

when the universe gives you a little surprise...

i made a wish on that falling star...
and just because it was so fantastic...im sure it will come true...
