Creepy Things That Have Happened to You

I think it would be the same with me...well, maybe not 'off the charts', but definitely much better.

Often I feel a teeny tiny twinge about something but it's so soft and light that it can be, and is usually, brushed off and I go about my day only to realize later on that that's what it was and that I should have listened.

It's not unusual for me to think about something or someone and say to myself that I hadn't seen them around in a while and wonder what they were up to and, lo and behold, within a couple of days that person calls or comes by or something happens that relates to what I was thinking about.

BUT

It's such a soft 'voice' that it's hard to hear. Or maybe the world is too loud. Or I'm too loud. Or stubborn. But it's not something that I find easy to 'practice' and there is rarely an aha moment that helps me when I can hear and do listen. For example, there's no news report that says because I did not do this, then that did not happen. The correlation is not often apparent. I'm a reward-based learner for the most part, so that's difficult.

Going back to what sharkchomp said about the guy that used to work for the same company....I have had instantaneous knowledge of folks from time to time like that but I think it has to do with equal parts gut instinct and education from past experiences. I've pointed out people to my best friend in high school that were abused and once, when we were at a zoo, I pointed out a father and daughter to her and knew that that was an abusive relationship, though all outside signs showed a 'normal' loving family. I'm certainly not an expert on that but with my history, some signs really connect.

Who knows? I could have been wrong. I hope I was. But I could have been right too. Without creating a lot of drama over potentially nothing....or everything...there's no way to know for sure.
