The Universe Works in Mysterious Ways...

This universe surprises me.  It has an uncanny ability to give you just what you need, right when you need it.  I recently had one of these events, and it made me think about other times it has happened and it humbled me. 
I recently moved to beautiful Hawaii.  Many would think that I should never have any reason to be sad or down.  Yes, it is gorgeous.  Yes, I live in a place people only dream of visiting, but I moved here alone.  I was having an especially melencholy evening one night, that even the help of a couple of new friends wasn't fixing.  We finally ended up at this awesome little dive bar.  Randomly, later in the night, I met a person that the universe intended on me to meet.  It was the most positive person I think I had ever met!  I don't even know who spoke to who first, but it was as if he could sense what was wrong with me.  He pointed out how lucky I was to be here, and gave me an outlet to perhaps create some sort of normalcy.  He was a yoga instructor, so he encouraged me to go to his class.  I hesistantly woke up the morning of his class, and nervously walked there.  I had never done yoga before!  By the end of it, I decided that I think I need yoga.  I need the positive mental message that yoga encompasses along with the physical improvement of my body.  I am going to try to keep that going.
Another night, I met a girl who was just swinging through Cincinnati on a road trip.  I was inspired by her solo journey.  She was from Singapore and had been in the US for a good amount of time, but had to return home due to an expiring visa.  She plotted out a road trip and took off on her own.  She stopped in cities she wanted to stop in, whether she knew people there or not!  Her independence was just want I needed to see.  It was a big inspiration in my decision to do travel nursing.  I signed up just a few weeks after our conversation that night.  We still keep in touch after a one night encounter.
I could easily say that every relationship makes me who I am.  Everybody I have met or dated has given me inspiration in some sort of way or another.  They have all made me a better person, or showed me more of what I deserve in life.  They may not be what others consider the best for me, but they were the right people at that time.  I needed to meet them. 
I love this universe.  I am excited for what else it will bring me.  Look back, have you had a weird universe moment?  Did you realize how lucky you were to have that moment?
