I had meant to mention this in my earlier post.
Tuesday, when I got home from work I had e-mails from 3 friends I hadn't heard from in a while. It was almost like my upset about losing my job had gone out into the ozone and drew them to write.:) One was a friend from high school - we had written for a while after high school, but lost touch with each other some 10 years ago. (Or longer, actually, because 10 years ago we happened to run into each other in a coffee shop in Portland.) This time she happened to see something that got forwarded to a mailing list she's on, that had my e-mail address on it from where I'd forwarded it to another mailing list, so she took a chance it would be me. I had just been saying a couple of days before that it was too bad I'd lost touch with her.
Anyway, I know people will make something mystical out of it, but I just think it's cool how coincidences work out, sometimes.:) It's not such a huge coincidence when you think about it. It makes sense that I would forward something to my "Bi In Northern New England" list and someone on that list would forward that to the MaineGayPagan list she's on - we're still similar sorts of people. Maybe it's actually surprising it didn't happen before now.:)
