What have I been missing all along I thought to myself. My heart began to beat a little faster as it completely identifies with this statement. The author starts to talk about how we hold out for perfection seemingly refusing our fate in the hopes that we will find perfection if we just wait. “I’m not going to Miami, but I’m going as far as Fort Lauderdale.” Dejectedly the young man says, “Oh,” and turns the ride down. After a long wait, a friendly trucker stops and says. He’s so cold he can barely hold up his handmade sign.
“There’s an old story about a young man who’s freezing on the side of the road in Alaska. I thumbed through it and immediately saw that it was broken down to into daily digestible pieces, a favorite of the ADD crowd. The lotus flower on the cover caught my eye. There was the usual Oh, The Places You’ll Go and books like The Last Lecture by Randy Pausch (I agree with that choice) and then there was one left on the corner The Book of Awakening. I’m always curious as to what books are suggested for new grads. The other day while shopping for books at my local hangout I scanned the Graduation table.
I looked upwards into the sky and acknowledged my not so silent guide and said out loud to myself “OK, I get it”.

Once mentioned in a conversation about someone’s daughter, twice after seeing it printed on a pair of newborn pajamas and thrice (you’re welcome Conan), when I was cut off by this little red corvette (not lost on me fellow Prince fans) who’s license plate read: AVASVET. While I was pregnant I heard and saw the name three times on the same day. That’s how I came to name my daughter actually. When I see something three times I take notice.
