Act 1 Scene 5 - The Contessa looks for signs everywhere

I have been writing my Letters to God lately, I have noticed that one of the things I pray for is a sign that I am making the right decisions or signs to help guide me on the paths that I am on.

So I was driving home from a board meeting, where the stupidity and crap that has been reigning for the past two months, finally was put to a timely end. A load off my mind. I was thinking about another problem and came up with a solution. It wasn't a great one and while I felt better for HAVING a solution, it may not have been the best one. So in driving home, I asked for a sign as t whether this was a good solution or not.

Then CRASH.

I merged into another vehicle. A large black SUV ish vehicle.

Entirely my fault. I thought I checked my blindspot carefully before merging, but I was distracted with the solution that I had just found.

We were heading for a traffic light and I DO believe that the SUV sped up to close the gap so I couldn't merge. Be that as it may, I still hit them. But we were slowed down for the light which was red, so I didn't hit that hard.

Still in the essence of doing the right thing... I started up to move to another lane so we could pull over and exchange information.

GAH!!!!! Foiled!!!!!!

They cut me off, cut over two lanes, sped up and got on the Interstate.

Are you kidding me???

Now I am thinking,oh boy, I'll bet there is something illegal going on with them. Then I worry that something happened to them and Pray that they are not hurt.

Then it occurs to me that this is the REALLY obvious sign I asked for. The solution to one of my problems that I came up with, you know, the one that distracted me in the first place????Not a good OR fair one. Not yet at any rate.

This is the kind of thing that happens to women in my family. My mom has had car accidents and tickets the few times that she has had major issues on her mind.

And So it gets passed down.

But it was a big sign. And I feel oddly relieved. I didn't get hurt, My car doesn't have a scratch on it ( explain this to me please!!!) and I am not following through with my solution, but have tabled it temporarily in search of a better solution OR a positive change. I just pray now that those people are not hurt.

There are signs everywhere - you just have to look.
