This is how it's done

I got an email from my sister the other day in which she told me a little story (I had to translate it from German):

For the last few days I had been a little worried about the move. Somehow I felt like everything was a little too much, with teaching and the move and working at [my other job] and everything. I was afraid that I would get really stressed out during packing. Packing always stresses me out [...]. And I didn't know if I had enough moving boxes, and I thought shit, how am I going to get some without a car? And you wouldn't believe what happened next. I was coming back from the bakery and thought oh, I'll take this way home, the sun is so nice over there... And oh, I'll switch over to the other side of the street to walk by the playground... and then I passed by a recycling bin, and next to it was a pile of moving boxes!!!

To me this is just the perfect example of listening to the subtle hints and guidance life will give you to lead you to the things you need. Yes, sunshine on the other side of the street can be a hint. So can shade, if you're in the mood for shade.
