Being loved!

I got a call today from a past client who would like to work with me again.  First of all I love this client so that makes it wonderful, but even more so, when I told them that my rates had gone up significantly this incredible person said "you are the best and the market reflects that." Which is so what I needed to hear today.  

I work in a world of wealthy people and sometimes it is very apparent that one reason why some of them are wealthy is that they are willing to haggle for every dollar.  Even when it is obvious that they can easily afford the dollar and I cannot. So when I meet kind people and when I am appreciated by these marvelous creatures... I feel like giving the universe a huge thank you hug!

And, on the topic of giving the universe a hug, I had to go to the post office to find out what to do because my key suddenly refused to open my mailbox.  Waited in line for ten minutes, got the guy that I was pleading with fate not to give me, (this dude has never been nice or helpful) and it was really strange.  I had a problem, not a package to mail, but a problem and this man who has always been quite rude was insanely nice.  He told me what I had to do, left a note for my mailman, gave me advice and sent me on my way.  I had to get my mail and of course there is no way to do that because my mail is already in the little box, waiting for someone with a key to set it free.  But, not to worry, as I was driving home there was my mailman putting mail into my box! 

I just love it when things work out well!  It gives me hope for the future.
