Life is So Not a Box of Chocolates

Discovering my Deadwood Season 3 disc in today’s mail, I concluded that life is like the Netflix queue: Ask & ye shall receive (a little red envelope)!

I’d put show’s send-off season on my request list months ago, far in advance of its release date. Then I forgot about it completely. Feeling such excitement upon its arrival, I realized this is what I do when I ask the Universe, or more importantly, should do when I ask the Universe, to bring good into my life.

Step 1: Add any desired item to the big wish list or queue (best-selling book, true romance, trip to Rome). Although it is psychic, the Universe needs to know that you know what you want. There’s got to be a demand to signal the supply to show-up!

Step 2: Have faith, as one does in Netflix, that eventually the oh-so-anticipated envelope (agent, man, ticket) will magically appear in the mailbox.

Step 3: As antsy as you might get, stop checking for progress. Had I micro-monitored Deadwood’s release date, it’d seemed like torture waiting for it. But, because I had (beautifully) blind faith in its imminent arrival, the payoff was priceless. “Why isn’t it here yet” is our way of whining to the Universe. Believe me, I ought to know. Patience has never been the most valuable virtue to this Pixie. “But look Ma, over here, old dog with new tricks!” Miracles really do happen.

Step 4: People’s priorities shift like speedy seismic plates so if there’s a crappy flick on the list, ditch it sooner than later. & if it comes before you’ve remembered to un-ask, do not pass go. Send it back without another thought. It’s your prerogative.

Step 5: Live, baby, live.

As I happily hunker down with 4 full hours of Deadwood DVD entertainment, I express my gratitude to the Universe, Netflix, the US Mail but especially to you, Deadwood, for being so worth the wait!

Let’s be like the Brits & queue up our requests. Tell me what you want, what you really really want.

oh & that reminds me, welcome Becks & Posh. You sure are a pretty pair!
