He's a She??

 Sometimes people get omens in life

    I may have had an omen experience tonight.

    Whenever someone leaves our house at night, I tell them, "Watch for deer."

    That phrase has many implied meanings:  be careful; stay safe; we love you, are some of them.

    I was driving to Emily's tonight and a deer stepped in front of my van.

    I was not going fast.  Neither was the deer.

    I stopped, it moved to the side and joined 4 or 5 of its friends.

    After a quick stop at Emily's, I went to Walmart.

    Walmart on a Sunday night is not as busy as during the day.  The parking lot is not as full.

    I parked, there was no one else around me, and as I was walking toward the store I heard a feminine voice say, "Terry, I'm glad to see you."

    I looked around.  Nobody in sight!

    My  first thought was  God is a woman! Not hitting the deer was me avoiding death!  Now God was glad to see me!!!!  OH NOOOOOOO!!!!

    I spun around, looking up, and I heard a laugh.

    "Over here."

    I am deaf in myth right ear.  So all the sound comes into my left ear.  When I hear something, I look left.  I saw no one.

    It was then I regretted not learning the Rosary at a young age.  Of course, I am not Catholic, so that would be another obstacle.

    "Over here," came the voice again.

    I turned around and saw my friend Chris sitting behind the plants having a smoke.

    I relaxed and went over and visited her  for a few minutes, but since I am still in summer mode and did not have a jacket or sweatshirt on, I eventually said I was cold and we parted.

    Then I got to thinking of omens again.  Chris.  Christ.  The only difference in the words is a T.  

    Hummm.

    Once safely inside the store, I ran into another old friend.  It was at this point I realized I had remains of supper on my shirt.   No I did not eat it.  I brushed it off onto the floor.

    But my friend had a black thing on the bridge of their nose.  A sore?  A bug?  Dirt?

    It really grabbed my attention and I discovered I could not look at them without focusing on the dot.

    So I looked away while we talked.

    I did drive extra carefully on the way home.

    I saw no more deer, and heard no more voices.

    And I don't want to  experience any more omens.

Peace and Love
