Interesting question that came up between AP and I today.


My most staggering story of getting some kind of "sign" was when I had my son.

Signs, or coincidences, for me, are the universes way of saying life is unfolding as it should be.

"Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should."

I would have to agree that the signs are that things are happening exactly in the time they are supposed too. Rather than think you are not sposed to be together, maybe the signs are just saying its not the right time 'yet'.


But I like to go the Optimistic route, so if you are a realist or pessimist, you'll not agree. :)


Looking at the negative side or deriving the 'worst meaning' from things doesn't do anyone any good and it is not good for you either.


Follow your heart for it is never wrong. Even when your heart is hurt in life, listening to it you will always hear the wisdom from your choices and grow.


And learning and growing is never wrong.

Maybe it's the universe just testing your patience. There do seem to have been a lot of strange coincidental things getting in your way! I think in 11 years of seeing my OM, I only had to cancel twice because of unexpected occurrences last minute, and he had to cancel once. That doesn't count the weather related cancellations - those seem to be a different category. He's single so there's much less chance of it happening to him, but hey, it can happen to anyone, even legitimate couples. I hope you have better luck soon!

I know it's not a matter of him not caring or anything like that.

Anotherseyes my post was more about how I View coincidences then the specific instances you wrote about--I hope i didn't send the wrong message about your particular A because that was not the intention.
