Oh….my….gosh! I have the COOLEST story to tell you! I know you all can tell the last few days have been a bit of a struggle. I knew the first Christmas after losing Mr. Virgo was going to be rough and it has certainly been shaping up to be a pretty dismal affair all the way around. I finally gave in in early November and started seeing a grief counselor and she has really, really helped. Even so, as I was preparing myself for the tears that would inevitably come during my session this afternoon, I spent some quiet time talking to Mr. Virgo. I asked him, if he could hear me, if he was still watching over me, would he please send me a sign so I could know. I know that may be really weird to some of you and you might think I’ve gone ’round the bend, but this is what happened later.

I walked into the waiting area at my appointment and sat down. There was another lady sitting there and we exchanged greetings but went back to our magazines. The music had been playing when I walked in but I didn’t pay any attention to it, other than it was a little loud. There was quite a stretch of quiet between songs and when it started playing again, the song was a very peppy rendition of “Gray skies are gonna clear up…put on a happy face!” The lady and I looked at each other and cracked up. I told her about losing my husband. She told me about losing her mom. I told her about asking him to send me some sort of sign that he was still watching out for me. I laughed and said, “You know, when this sort of thing happened when he was alive, I would hum the opening notes of The Twilight Zone and we would just laugh!” We went back to our papers. The peppy little tune continued as I contemplated whether it really could have been Mr. Virgo sending me a message. But…that’s NOT the end of the story. If it ended right there, you might think “Well, that was a cute little coincidence.” and leave it at that. Not so fast! As soon as “Put on a Happy Face” ended…..I kid you not….the theme music for The Twilight Zone came on!!! The woman and I turned to each other with our mouths open and laughed till our sides hurt. What a great story! Thanks, Mr. Virgo…I’m SO happy to know you are still watching out for me and you’re absolutely right. Gray skies ARE gonna clear up!

Have a wonderful day, my lovely friends!
