You toss your business card into a bowl at a Chinese restaurant & win six free egg rolls every month for a year. Or you pick up the phone & hear a stranger asking you the names of all four Beatles , which you recite to them without skipping a beat and he screams you just won a dish washer ... This feeling is not the same as winning @ a craps table or a lotto win , this is about a windfall that you 're not even sure you want - say , a deluxe all - expenses - paid trip to Hackensack ,New Jersey -- but fills you with a great , swelling of joy @ getting something undreamed of ...and its all for you.

It happens without fanfare . Someone somewhere looks across the room & sees past the face your family gave you . They also sees past the face that you put on over that face , the one composed of TV gestures & mysterious magazine - made smiles & the smooth , dull , blank look that over takes your eyes when you decide you do not cry in front of other people .This someone sees , you down to your intelligence , your fear of being alone , your ability to whistle on pitch . It might be the teacher who asks if you would like the honor of extra tutoring . It might be the grocery store owner giving you credit every month , who doesn't mind a bit . It might even be the friend who thinks your just sexy as hell & even though he claims he's straight likes to turn it on with you when he's around.There is somebody out there that gets you .


Prior to the age of seatbelts , you were a child crawling around in the back of a station wagon & the door opened . You didn't fall out . Or later on , you were reaching for a distant leaf in the gutter and stumbled off the ladder & landed without a scratch .You didn't die . In other words, you did get a chance to live . 5. Somebody comes back . One of the worst things in life is that people leave - and worse, they leave you feeling that a / you didn't do the right thing to make them stay , or b / you did the thing that made them leave . or c/ if time stopped , you would leave instead & make them feel all the terrible , painful crap you're currently feeling .But at some point . one of those leave 'ers comes back .Maybe they want to start over . maybe they want to say their sorry , Maybe they want to just say hey and smoke one with you .( I made that part up ;@})Leaving you kissing the ground and looking all hot and bothered.And am not making up this part.
6. You are right .
So many times in life we are right & wish we weren't ( You're going to lose your job ! ) And then there are the glorious , life - affirming moments , such as when I told my father the glue stick was not ChapStick and he chose to dis agree with me .
7. You're loved.
Love seems to be a given . It seems so obvious .All people are in your life with the responsibility to love you : parents , brothers , partners , nieces , babies and friends . A few will fail you , but most won't .And yet each time they express that love , it's unique . It's so insanely specific , what the other will adore about you & what you will adore about him or her .Who is it who loved or loves or will love you ? The guy who left an anonymous note on your desk , or the hot one who can't help but watch you on the bus and smile the whole time. The funny , laid- back , occasionally loud man - perfect for you ;you're occasional hard of hearing - you haven't met yet but will ? It may be that you haven't had all seven of these moments yet . But the odds are that you have ,and here is the sweet part of the deal - it's possible , if not extremely likely , that you will get the chance to have each of these moments over & over & over . 70 or 700 or 7 million times , but each time differently .Each time will be new & astonishing once again ...author Leigh - Newman
