In reality, serendipity accounts for one percent of the blessings we receive in life, work and love. The other 99 percent is due to our efforts.

one of the health clinics in denver brought along a patient to this conference. i know him through the rooms, but i have never had the chance to really talk with him. we have, however, changed that. we spent some of monday and most of yesterday together. he even came to dinner with us last night to the vietnamese restaurant near the white house.

i have been able to find out quite a lot which i was previously unaware. it has been a good experience to see someone i have seen around but never really spoken with before. i think the universe moves in amazing ways somehow. i think the clinic might be grooming him to work with their clients in a peer mentor type position. the doctor has been directing conversation in that area.

so hopefully, i will be able to be of some service and support his efforts if he goes in this direction. i have an indication that this is one of the reasons i might have come. i am grateful i have the chance to work with others.
there are moments in my life when things make sense. when things align themselves in a position which seems to work. i love it when this happens.

after dinner, we walked to the white house and then back around to the smithsonian stop on the metro. i realized that there are some indications in this journey that help us see where we are going. there are markers in my life to see, if i am open to them.
