Beautiful Accidents

1. So, I accidentally went to a Catholic mass that was solely in Italian. Apparently I had mixed up the English and Italian mass times, so once I had already made my half hour journey in the rain, of course I decided to stay.
So that was the accident, but the wonderful thing was that despite my mistake I was given a gift. I got to spend some quality time with the One upstairs, I got to listen to a beautiful language and I met some amazing people afterward that introduced me to the young adult community.
2. Due to technical difficulties I am using a pay as you go phone for two weeks until I get to use my iphone again. For those of you who don't know me, I am prone to get lost, even with the help of the navigation on my iphone, so you can guess how lost I initially felt without it. Despite it all, I have found my lack of internet via my phone and for a few days my lack of internet all together, very liberating. I have found that when under the right circumstances wonderful qualities emerge that you never knew you had in you. I know now that I actually can have a great sense of navigation. I now use my little A-Z map on long travels very easily, I can tell you what is N/S/E/W without even thinking and after a bit of wandering and wrong turns I have eventually navigated my way around Islington quite effortlessly. In fact, by accident of several tourists, I have been thought a local several times and people actually stop and ask me directions, and I can give it! I like to think it is the exuding sense of confidence I have as I walk around MY city!

So, my lesson of the day, life may hand you lemons but it also hands you lemonade!
