Conversations with a higher power

Whether you believe in a higher being or not, sometimes there are some things that happen that you just can't explain.  I love that show "Long Island Medium" I admit it.  I'm also a complete believer in mediums and that there are some people who are able to communicate with the other side.  One of the things she said on the show that stuck with me is that our loved ones on the other side are constantly trying to find ways to show us they're around. One of the ways in which they do that is through our electronics. They'll flicker lights, cause weird sounds, all the way up to having certain songs come up that reminds you of them. Being that I was so close to my Poppop, I am always looking for ways to reconfirm that he's always here with me.

Today is no exception. When I woke up, I had that "Cups" song stuck in my head...ya know that one from that "Pitch Perfect" movie? It's a catchy tune!  I got my breakfast ready, like I do everyday.  I make my egg whites, sit on my couch and catch up on my gossip TV...aka Good Morning America.  Being completely uninterested, I flipped through the channels. Hitting HBO, "Pitch Perfect" was on.  I was like, whoa! So, I flipped it on, and it was the audition scene where she sang it.  "Well that was weird" I thought to myself, and went along my merry way.

I begin driving to work, the song still stuck in my head, after all it is QUITE catchy, and I'm listening to my country music.  In the mood to flip, I turn to another channel and what song comes on, but "Cups!" WHAT THE HECK!? Okay, just too weird. I had a chuckle thinking...this must be a crazy coincidence.

Several hours later, I get my dinner break.  I'm on my 24 hour shift so my breaks are in no way calculated. I go home, watch a little TV, take the dog out to go to the bathroom, shut everything down and hustle back into the car because, well, it's darn cold out. I turn my car on, again to my country station.  Something in me told me to turn the station once more, so I did.  I'll give you one guess as to what song came on the radio....yes..."CUPS!" 

Now, I like anyone like to be skeptical (okay not really!) but  I wake up with this happy song in my head, the movie begins to play, and then I hear it TWO more times through the day??  The last time it came on was just way too weird for me.  At that point I had to stop and have a conversation with whomever was listening. I don't know if it's my Poppop or someone else, but all I know is there is a pot beginning to stir up there. Things are quickly falling into place and life's puzzle is coming together.  Sure, there are a quite few missing pieces still, but those will come with time...after all, I have at least another 80 years to get into some trouble and put it all together.

So, always remember, no matter HOW you may be feeling, you're never alone.  And no matter what is happening, just talk. You may feel like you're talking to yourself, but I promise you, you're not.  You don't have to be religious, you don't have to be spiritual, but there are way too many "coincidences" in life to be coincidental. Take some time, sit down to examine your life.  Begin to take notice at the signs your loved ones might be shooting your way.  It's not an accident. Just stop and have a conversation....
