Seems that my psychic antennas are up these days, more than usual. Today, I went to visit a dear friend who is struggling to get well from cancer, chemo and complications. It was also her birthday today. Before going to visit, I called her and asked if she would like a cupcake to celebrate and to my utter delight(because, you see, I wanted a cupcake too, and needed a really good excuse to get one), she said "yes" !
We decided on the flavors and moved on to lunch. I asked what she wanted from the bagel place and took her order of a cinnamon raisin bagel with plain cream cheese.
While standing in line, I was looking at the menu board that I've seen about a thousand times (can you tell it is my favorite sandwich & bagel place?) and was about to order my standard turkey on rye bread when I suddenly noticed HARD SALAMI.
I thought "oh gosh! I didn't know they have hard salami!" And that started a huge dialogue in my head about all of a sudden wanting a hard salami sandwich on a salt bagel. The dialogue became an argument, and I was fighting with the devil inside me who was screaming out for the salami and the angel said - no way - stick with the turkey....
Because I was holding up the line, with the silent bickering in my head, looking like an idiot, I just took the turkey and my friend's cream cheese bagel and went off to visit. As we sat there eating our lunch, she chewed on the cinnamon bagel and said thoughtfully "this is good, but I wish I had gone with my craving".
What craving?
"Oh", she said wistfully "I really wanted a hard salami on a bagel, but I thought it would not be so healthy for me, so I settled for the cream cheese. Wish I had the salami!"
So there it was. 1000 times I've stood in front of that menu board and never saw the salami (which i L-O-V-E). Today, my dear friend craves salami and I must have tuned in on it.
The good news, is that I still have strong intuitive tendencies, but the bad news is now I know the bagel place has hard salami. . . .
