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.
