dear universe, please be my friend again

A few months ago I subscribed to "Thoughts From the Universe", a listserve that delivers a daily message from, well, someone in the universe to my inbox each morning. Now, these aren't just any thoughts, they're eerily-bang-on-freak-me-out-with-their-accuracy thoughts. Thoughts that without fail address exactly what is going on on that particular day. They rock. They make me laugh. They give me pause to reflect. They inspire.

And they've stopped coming. WTF?

The universe has stopped sending me inspiring thoughts? I'm not quite sure what to make of that but it's freaking me out (remember that post below about no coincidences? ;). Maybe I offended the universe? Maybe it got tired of me ignoring it first and moaning about it later? Maybe I've been so intolerable lately that even the universe got sick of me?  Maybe it's just a computer glitch?

I'm not, actually, moany or intolerable or sad or offensive or any other things that could have turned the entire universe off so badly that they had to blacklist me from their email list. So I'm opting for the last option: computer glitch.  Assuming for a moment that it was any of the other possibilities - dear universe, please send me your lovely messages again. I could kind of (read: really) use them right now and I promise to pay closer attention.

No more ignoring good advice and whining about it later. I promise...
