On February 4, 2015, our blog will be six years old. In its early days, when we got maybe ten hits a week, we had some great synchronicity stories. I culled together some of the best and will re-post them periodically.
Here is one of our favorites, which occurred when our daughter was just eight. She’s now 25:
During an elementary school Thanksgiving project, eight-year Megan showed a dog she had made from clay and announced that she was grateful for the golden retriever she was going to get. Her parents (us!) were puzzled about it. We had no plans to get a golden or any other kind of dog. After all, we had three cats.
But shortly before Christmas, a family friend asked if we would adopt a golden retriever that needed a home. We said we would try out the dog for a week.The retriever, Jessie, immediately got along famously with the cats, settled in front of Rob’s desk, and found a new home.
We remained baffled by how Megan had talked about the animal as if she’d known it was coming. It was a synchronicity – specifically one of foreknowledge or precognition.
That’s Jessie in the above photo, in 2005. Sadly, she passed away in 2007.
Nothing sweeter than a golden.
For sure!
I like this story. But I wonder which way round it was ? Did Megan create the family having a dog or was it her seeing into the future? But whatever way it was a synchro.
Six years of blogging – as you say in Terri’s comment, it’s a kind of personal history.
It’s like the chicken and the egg thing!
That may be a bit eerie, but it was obviously meant to be…
I agree that it was meant to be, Shadow!
That means I’ll have been blogging for six years too. It’s pretty cool to be able to search the archives now. 😀
Searching your own archives is kinda fun. A sense of personal history, right?
Other than the facts that the numbers don’t add up (six years old, and she was eight, and now she’s twenty-five?) — I am not at all surprised to find that she knew the retriever was on its way to her! She’s your daughter, after all. 🙂
It was an old story from when she was eight, that we posted in the early days of our blog – when she was 20…but I see what you mean about the confusion!
