I've been seeing little things all over lately. A couple of people getting unexpected money right when they needed it. My mother deciding (finally) that she ought to lose some weight and setting a goal of 20 lbs by October (really, she probably needs to lose 50, I dunno what she weighs exactly, but it's a start, and a very doable, conservative goal). My mother also mysteriously deciding that brown rice and whole grain breads are what should be in the house instead of their white cousins. (I'll convert them to barley pilafs with tofu and kale yet!) People are posting a lot of things lately that are all like little specks of light. Often minor things, but it's remarkably widespread (I think it's remarkable, anyway). Quantity, not individual size, thus pointing to a "size" of an overall phenomenon.

Things are In Motion, it seems.

Very, VERY true, mah dear.

Things are always in motion. It's just a matter of where we look. People have a tendency to focus on what they can relate to--on a bad day, we tend to highlight others' bad days, and the same for good days. I don't think there's ever any more of one or the other; I think it's all in perception.

I do think, on an individual level, that things do happen in clusters, but part of that is because of our own expectations. Bad moods tend to cause more bad things to manifest in our lives, which is why it's a good idea to try and remain positive even when life sucks.

But that's just my theory.

Mmm, I'm talking more about an overall increase, not saying "there's something odd today" or anything like that. Hard to know what to compare to though, I guess.

Shiny :) Nice little points of goodness!

When things like that happen, I like to try and be tankful and encouraging, in the hopes of breeding more of it.

Julia and I were just talking of that tonight

In the past few months, those of my circle (and hers, too) have been sparked for ... *something*. Many little things, a handful of big things in others. Hard to judge, but too much for me to deny it through coincidence. The most obvious from my perspective: I`m waking up again.
