Guardian Angels

Another reason I like April is because it's my anniversary...my divorce from Tweedle dumb anniversary...five years today!

Not only does this day remind me that I truly have a guardian angel but also that with time comes forgiveness..in another hundred years, I will have completely forgiven him.

I'm also pretty certain that my angel looks just like the one above...

Seriously though, I really think everything happens for a reason; every time I'm in risk of making a whopping great mistake and something (unwelcome at the time) happens to force me to resist, I know my angel's working overtime.

Today I went to get the tire fixed that I destroyed yesterday and the gentleman helping me told me that had I driven my car to Vegas with such bald tires I would have undoubtedly had an accident.

This fact only made me feel remotely better about the $500 it cost me to replace ALL FOUR tires; I know that's a small price to pay to keep my family in one piece. I did very well on the "girly eyes well up with tears chin wobble" thing when the poor sod serving me told me how much it was going to cost, and ended up getting a $100 mail in rebate and a free oil change.

My particular guardian angel works in some puzzling ways and I have to get quite creative to find the meaning behind his actions sometimes.

For example: if I'm in a potentially bad relationship the offending prospective partner might mysteriously be whisked off to prison for twelve years to sign and seal the discontinuation of our courting, or if I've broken up with a frighteningly poor choice of the male species my angel somehow arranges for him to meet a lovely gal almost instantly after we break up just to insure that I won't be tempted to take him back...and most recently, the obvious work of my GA; I didn't win the lottery on Saturday because I'm about to land an amazing job!

This is a comforting way to look at my life; for every negative there simply has to be an angel manipulated positive...right?
