I have heard the word "Karma" kicked around a lot lately, so I figured I'd share this story. A couple of years ago, I was even worse off financially than I am now (I know, hard to believe, huh?). I was hanging out with a friend of mine, and when he reached into his wallet to get something, he realized that he had lost $40 - that when he took money out to pay for gas, it must have blown away. He was so upset- nearly in tears - pretty much as bad off as I was at the time. (He had just started a new job & wouldn't be getting paid for something like 3 weeks.) Anyway, I told him I could loan him the money until he got his first paycheck. He was really grateful, and by juggling a few things, I was able to help him. About 2 days after I gave him the money, I got a check in the mail from my deadbeat ex for $120. At the time, I had not received any support payments for several months & had no reason to think that I ever would. Funny, isn't it, that I got that money RIGHT AFTER I had loaned it to my friend, and also that it was exactly three times what I gave out? There is an ancient Druidic principle, that whatever you send out (good or bad) will come back times three. I have to say, I really believe that. I know, probably a lame story, but this board is DEAD, lol.
