Lot of Livin' To Do

So a long time ago I was inspired by my sec-a-ret roommate Megan Ball to sign up to get Notes from the Universe. Basically it's an email that sends inspirational messages or words of wisdom to you Monday through Friday of every week. For example this was mine yesterday:


One of the coolest things about time and space, Chris, is that it's impossible to kid oneself indefinitely.
Pow,
    The Universe

Kind of cool, right? If anything they are nice to get because I can expect to get one email every day of the week haha. Well today I was going to start my post with the note that I got today, but it hasn't come yet. Which is very odd because they have always come, in the morning, every day, for a year. Maybe it's a sign...the Universe forgot about me! Obviously I'm not really upset about this since really it's just someone at a computer sending out an email every day, but maybe it does mean something. I do believe things happen for a reason though, and while we need to shape and create our own paths in life, I do think there is something bigger than us out there somewhere. I'm not a religious person because I think that religion is a belief system that was created by man and therefore flawed and anyone who strictly follows it is foolish. I do consider myself to be spiritual because everything that happens in the world just cannot be explained in ways that we humans can comprehend. This issue is one of the main subjects in the His Dark Materials trilogy by Philip Pullman, or the Golden Compass series. I think these are excellent books and they made me think about the world in a different way.

Maybe the reason I didn't get the note from the universe today was that I would write this post about it. I guess everything does happen for a reason haha


*So after I wrote this I went to the website to try and figure out why I didn't get a message. I realized that it is still set to send emails to my Geneseo account, which is probably full or inactive. After changing my email I realized that the note I would have gotten is posted on the page when you log in anyways. So this is today's note:

Somewhere, over the rainbow, Chris, there's a world where birds sing into every night, flowers bloom across every land, each problem has 10,000 solutions, and people live lives only to love and be loved...

Just like under the rainbow.

Ain't life grand?
The Universe

I can't begin to tell you how happy we've always been with your choice of Earth, Chris.
