Opportunity

Had a Garage Sale yesterday with my sister and it was so interesting to see all the different kinds of people and ways each group had. It was a good reminder of how diverse the world is and how many different opportunities there are.

There were two girls who came and shopped and bought a couple of things but they mostly chatted with us and it turned out to be a parent of one of my nephew's friends. We ended up chatting for almost an hour, in between helping other customers and had a great time and made new friends.

Later, there was this couple who drove up toward the end of our sale and they were characters for sure. They drove up in this silver truck like an F150, the woman pops out of the car like toast from a toaster and doesn't miss a beat! For the next 15 minutes she looks around, grabbing things and talking about our sale signs, our merchandise and what she likes and wants to get. Then she starts telling us about other things she purchased from other garage and yard sales and wonders if we want to trade our things for things she has. It was a whirlwind of energy and fun as she whipped out item after item until both of us did indeed trade something with her! We were all happy with what we got and I said to my sister "we had a garage sale AND got to shop without even going anywhere..how awesome!" hahaha....

Whether making new friendships or manifesting things you love, every day and experience brings opportunities and gifts, so just remember to be open.  :0)
