Love at first sight!

Love at first sight!

I always believed in it but never experienced it before.

Before today, that is! Now I know, for sure, that YES, YES, YES, love at first sight does exist! I've spent my whole life dreaming of the day that love would all fall into place for me! Well, that day has arrived! Today! January 31st, 2010! I almost can't believe it! But it's true!

I always dreamed that I would just "know". That I would feel it in an instant. That we'd meet, feel the connection between us, know, tell eachother and that would be it. The rest would be history! Well, the rest is history!

I flew from Regina to Edmonton today and I had a funny feeling that today was going to be a day I'd not soon forget. I have this intuitive feeling sometimes and I just knew it was one of those moments where my inner voice, my intuition, was light years ahead of me. I went through security at the airport and sat down near the gate, waiting to board the plane to Edmonton. And then I saw him. The guy that always appeared in my dreams. He was everything I dreamed of. I'm actually pretty shy so I would never go up and talk to him. I hoped that I'd run into him on the way to the plane or something. I had an aisle seat and I thought, "maybe he'll be sitting next to me". Quite often it happens that I end up sitting by the most interesting people on the plane. I fly quite a bit and I am always filled with anticipation about who I'll meet sitting next to me. But, my seat was the very last row - next to the washrooms. NOT the best seats in the house. Clearly. I had thought of trying to change my seat but the only seats left were "middle" seats, so I opted for the back of the bus. It wouldn't be that bad, I figured. Besides, I never recline the seat anyway, so it didn't matter that my seat couldn't recline (last row - can't recline)and if I do have to get up to use the washroom, It's right beside me. How convenient. Anyway, I waited until the very end to board the plane, thinking that at least, I'd get to smile at him as I passed by. I was the last one on the plane and waited as people sat down so I could pass by to get to my seat.

And then I saw him. Back of the plane. Seat next to mine! All I could think was, "Oh My GOD!" I was nervous instantly. How silly, I know, but I just knew that something BIG was about to happen. I made my way to the back, smiled at him and then sat down. We didn't talk much for a few minutes but before the plane took off, we were deep into conversation. An hour seemed like only moments and the plane started it's descent way too quickly! It all reminded me of the movie "Up In The Air", but with a happy ending! And he's as cute as George Clooney.
It was as if we knew eachother forever. We laughed. We talked about a million different things. And at the end of it all, as we got off the plane, we gave each other a big hug and talked about how Serendipity just fell into our laps!

I gotta go b/c we've got a date tonight. Yay!

Mom, I love you!! You're going to love him!

Yes - Love at first sight does exist! I'm certain of it! I'm also certain that it's important to have a sense of humour and to be able to laugh, laugh, laugh, when things go completely sideways! Today, I must admit, was not the day that I met my soul-mate, but rather, the day that went completely sideways!!!! As I bawled my face off in my rented car, on my way to the hotel, I called my sister to vent. After we hung up, I started to laugh. And laugh. And laugh. Because sometimes, as my mom would say, that's all we can do! Laugh. Have a sense of humour. Find someone to talk to. Let it out and then let it go. Have hope and then pray that tomorrow will be a brighter day.

Now, I still believe in love at first sight and that I'll find the love I'm dreaming of, one day. But today was not that day. The seat was empty.
He must have missed the flight! ;)

PS: I'm SORRY for fibbing above. I hope you will forgive me and I sincerely hope that you have a silly sense of humour, as I do, especially when it's a really, really bad day. So, when things go completely sideways in life, I hope you laugh, laugh, laugh until the tears stop. For the record, I will NEVER fib again about anything, including the love of my life, who I just haven't met yet...and yes, I do believe he may just be seated next to me on the plane one day.

PPS: If you were filled with enthusiasm and joy as you read the first part of this -I HUMBLY say thank you for hoping for the best for me. Please continue to hold a positive vision for those you love...that they will find the one they love. Thank you.

PPPS: I love joking around, especially when things get too serious. And when things go completely off the rails, I usually find humour (and feel better) in poking fun at myself or a given situation. Thank you for sharing in my journey of living intentionally and for laughing with me until the tears have stopped.

They've stopped. Thank God!
Tomorrow will be a brighter day, I pray.
