I've traveled alot but I have never had trouble like lately. I have to again think it's a cosmic message.
I'm seriously listening to my own thoughts too because I gotta say we have more power than we even realize! (I feel like Bullwinkle pulling out the Monster from the hat and saying "Don't know my own strength!")
I'm in Milwaukee. I have a flight to Boston. I am on the way to the airport, I look at my ticket in my hand and think "Shoot. WIsh I had booked the direct flight. I don't want to go to Detroit first."
I get to the airport and guess what!? My flight has been CANCELLED! I am ON the flight, buckled in no less when the pilot comes over the intercom to tell us we have TWO flat tires and there are no spares and so we have no plane. We have to unload, they have to put us on other flights and I end up on a direct flight with a different airline. I get there 20 mins earlier too. Hmmmmm
I'm then in Boston. I am checking in the night before and I think "I wonder if they will cancel my flight again? Nah." Then I decide "Ok. If they do, I want a direct flight!" I was supposed to go to New York first.
I am totally not kidding with this folks. I get to the airport, and as I am handing them my suitcase-that I have PAID my baggage fee for, they say "oops. Your flight has been cancelled." Are you kidding me??? She says nope. Go stand in that 3 hour line with all those other unhappy people and we will try and get you on another flight."
I stand in the never ending line. People are laying on the floor it is taking so long. I get to the front and she says, "we can get you to La Guardia, and then you can get your baggage, get a cab, go across town to JFK and check in again. You have an hour and a half. Then we can get you on a flight to Atlanta, and from there a flight to Denver. Then you can get to SLC right?"
I say "NOT without a plane!"
She says "Oh. We don't have anything leaving Denver." Oops.
We finally agree that if I spend another night, they can put me on...yep...a direct flight to SLC. Can you believe it??? But it meant I couldn't be back to start the shamanic class on Monday night. I was in transit.
I hear horror stories from fellow travelers. 11 hour delays in Houston. Endless stories. It's not just one airline, it's happening all over. I'm seriously unhappy.
Then I have this thought about my next trip. But no. I have a direct flight on my return. I mean, what can go wrong with a direct fliglht? I suddenly worry about it. i think "Hmmmm. I hope everything is ok with the flight to Mexico and back?"
I get an email from the airlines. My flight has been rerouted. I will be going to go through customs in Phoenix. I am not direct. I am and I'm not. I get back on the same flight after a few hours. Instead of getting in at 3:46pm, I will be getting in at 7:30pm, and hope this isn't going to inconvenience you.
NO! I will miss my class on Monday night! I will not be back in time to teach. Again. I am seriously unhappy. The airlines says "Sorry." I get an apology and 2500 miles. Big whoop.
So if any of you are signed up for the shamanic class, and you are wondering about your flaky teacher...I am grounded for the month of Nov. I leave again on Dec 2. Maybe Dec will be better than Oct? I am going to watch my thoughts.
Do we get the thought as a precognitive hunch, or are we creating the future we are imagining?
