Hello Higher Self...

It struck me the other day that if I were half as polite to myself as I am to others..how happy and healthy I'd be..I wouldn't force another person to overeat,I wouldn't call another person a negative name..and I sure wouldn't force another being to smoke a cigarette..
I'm trying so hard to speak politely to myself..and to treat myself kindly..it would be pretty cool to write a book titled "Miss Manners guide to interacting with your Higher Self"..or something like that..

I had a really weird serendipity doo-da the other day..I was eating out and got a fortune cookie at the end of the meal..the message inside said "Keep your eyes wide open all this week"..right afterwards I went to the library and was finally able to get a book that I'd been on the waiting list for. It was "The Darkest Evening of the Year" by Dean Koontz..(my favorite fiction author)..and in it is a character who focuses on keeping her eyes open to patterns and coincidences..a very spiritual person who believes that the universe is giving her messages constantly via these things..and she acts on them accordingly..
Considering I'd been on the waiting list for this book for over two months..I started out being "214" and was told by the library that it would be about FIVE months before I'd get the book..I'm taking the weirdness of getting it so much sooner as a definite sign..especially since I got it right after that fortune cookie..I just wonder what's in store for me?? Am I missing something?? Am I not being as open to messages as I need to be?? Don't know if this makes me feel nervous or happy but I'm trying to keep my eyes open..
