Random?

I usually assign a title before I start an entry because it helps to keep me focused. This time, I'm blogging because I think something significant happened, but I'm not quite sure what it was.

When 6pm rolled around yesterday, I feeling kinda down because all I'd managed to do was sleep most of the day fighting off a sinus infection that's going around when I had planned to spend most of the day working on my ebook on music theory. So I headed out to the library hoping to isolate myself and get 3 hours in before the library closed at 9pm. Shortly after I got there, I got an invite from "Rob" inviting to treat me to dinner at a local taco truck. So I left to meet him, to discover that "Charles" (a pseudonym for another former Tuesday night regular) was there as well. After dinner, we decided to head over to a McDonald's to hang out and take advantage of the $1 coffee special.

We'd just all gotten there and found a table when "Bart" suddenly showed up. "Bart" is another former Tuesday night regular who hadn't been around for at least a year. We found out that he'd been working out in Beaumont tending horses but had recently come back into town. Bart seemed to think that this was some sort of divine coincidence as he claimed to have been thinking of me the past week. The way the conversation went, maybe it was. I'm not going to go into the details, but I'm curious to see how this turns out.

I originally posted this last night, and I now see that one thing I neglected to mention is the kind of impact that chance encounter had on my spirits as I went from feeling I wasn't accomplishing anything to a sense that I was accomplishing something on an entirely different level that I hadn't been able to appreciate before. Perhaps I'm reading too much into what happened yesterday.
