What's In Your Purse?

I was rummaging through my "purse/bag/carry everything" the other day and suddenly had the idea to see just what things I had in there that I kept juggling around to get to what I acually needed. So I dumped it all out on the couch and started itemizing my inventory. The results are as follows....

*My wallet- that's a necessity of course, need that license with that really bad photo on it just in case I need to identify myself.

* A pair of fingernail clippers and toenail clippers- I hide them here so I don't have to interrogate the children about where they went.

*A tin of Altoids- Gotta have fresh breath if I happen to run into Mr. Right in the produce isle at the grocery store.

*My tarot cards- For that on the spot reading that I may be asked for...hey, maybe Mr. Right has an issue that he needs resolved....

*Lighter- Yup, a nasty smoker type I am! Seems the cure is more expensive than the habit lately...

* Reading glasses- Just can't see that fine print anymore, must mean I am older than dirt after all.

* Moisturizing eye drops- To put in my eyes when my contacts dry out, usually after squinting to see that pesky fine print.

* My watch- Probably should wear it so I don't have to hear that I go by PST (pagan standard time...)

* Spare key for the house- In case I lose my car keys somewhere and don't wanna explain to the swat team about why I'm breaking into my own house.

* Quartz crystal- Hmm, not sure why that's in there but you never know when you might need a little clarity I suppose.

*Spare change- Lookie... the children must not have found that yet...better leave it in there for now.

So, that's what I found...not really sure what that says about me...I used to have a lot more in there but it got so heavy I had to whittle down it's contents in order to avoid dislocating my shoulder. Anyhow, I'm going to contemplate that thought for a while while you all run out and see just what's in your purse....

Coincidence Or Universal Gift?

There's this gypsy purse I've had my eye on for quite awhile, it has black fringe, a long shoulder strap and best of all...it is an antique rose tapestry fabric that I simply thought was the coolest! ( I love roses!) I could put my wallet and keys in it...my cell could fit quite nicely and best of all, I could fit my tarot cards snugly inside and take them with me where ever I went! It's been on a wiccan/pagan website that I look at now and then and for nearly a year now they've had only one left in stock. Many times I'd go to the site and gaze at it longingly but always, other obligations came up and I put it on the back burner in lieu of Cheer Camp, zoo trips and various other things that kids need as they grow up. It can be tough raising kids as a single parent but I feel that if you invest in them now, they will be such a gift to the world later so I always told myself "When tax time comes, I'll be sure to purchase that lovely gypsy purse." I got my taxes back the other day and my first thought was..."Ooh, gypsy purse here I come!" I brought up the website and low and behold...they still had it! I could not believe it and of course, ordered it straight away. I couldn't believe I was finally going to get this beautiful handmade purse (and now I'm waiting none too patiently for my poor mail carrier.) I wonder how it was still there...I'm sure there were other folks that thought it was the greatest...? I suppose you could chalk it up to luck, chance or coincidence but maybe, just maybe the universe is just a little bit smarter than I and had a design of its own all along...
