I'm not sure I trust in the universe today! or do I?

It's Wednesday, the dealer didn't call back re the camper yesterday, hence we can conclude that the owner wouldn't budge on the price. Daryll shares that he felt the price was OK and perhaps we should take it anyway.
We briefly ponder this before we realise again we are not fully trusting the universe and our abilities to create.

Wow - it is so easy to slip back into that 'fear factor' regularly. The feeling of "I want it and I need to push to make it happen". Without even realising it, we strive to complete things in 'our time', gradually we slip out of sync just ever so slightly. It is a constant mindfulness to be aware of the pervading energies and walk hand in hand with them.
The more you achieve this, the more the universe walks with you, however as you become more in sync, it seems the universe is VERY  quick to provide a (sometimes unpleasant) reminder that you are out of sync when you slip.

The other van we had seen advertised was still available, we had made an appointment to view it on Saturday at 10am and it was a year newer and $1000 less than the previous one.
We rested content in the promise of this and let it slide.

Deciding to check out our options, we jumped online looked up a few others and made a call to a dealer. He advised us that there was no way we could achieve a model such as this for the price we were wanting to pay and that if we ever did, snap it up as they will disappear sight unseen. He continued on that if we ever did manage to get one for this price (insert snide chuckle) that he would buy it off us for $1000 more in 5-10 years time if we changed our mind.

That was enough to un-nerve us, we felt a little shaky and Daryll mentioned that perhaps we should call up and go visit earlier - maybe tonight!
"no, we'll wait, if it's ours it will be kept for us" we decide.

Right on cue the phone rings, its the owners of the camper saying they are sorry they have double booked and another person is coming out to view it at 10am Saturday, could we please come a little later that day.
We agree, it is no problem to do so, hop off the phone and over a cup of tea share our feelings.

Something just doesn't feel right with this, we have (in our minds) laid claim on this camper and we don't want anyone looking at it.
Again, those feelings of insecurity rise, "call them back, say we'll come earlier, even though it doesn't fit with our plans, say we'll come today, actually say we'll come RIGHT NOW!"

Wow - how easy it is to NOT trust!
I disappear to commune with universal energies and re-centre myself.
After a brief meditation, my world is back to normal again.
I realise it is only a camper and not required urgently anyway, if it's gone it's gone.
However, I do mention to the universe that if it fits appropriately we would like it and "would you mind putting an energy hold on it for us if it is right to do so".

A moment after this meditation, the owners call back to advise us that the other people just had something mysteriously pop up and could no longer make the appointment so 10am would be fine.
(yes, a small smile curls the side of my mouth and a very quiet whisper "thank you")

The night before we are due to go a couple of bills pop in, taking the total available down by $1200.00 less than the original amount we had available (ah well, this one is asking $500 less and says negotiable - let's see what happens - we're pretty sure they won't come down by $700, but we'll see what magic weaves).

Saturday morning arrives and the day is magnificent, beautiful spring type day, kids are fed and happy Grandpa wants to come for the drive.
Earlier in the day we had been at skating lessons and got chatting with a mum there, who had a few concerns going on in her life - we chat and she looks at me and says "I feel like you were sent to me today"

Yes, I know, I think to myself, always happy to be guided to the right people - as they say, when you work with these energies it's like breathing. One breath in for others, one breath out for yourself, an endless flow of energies to absorb and work with. I am delighted to have assisted someone and look forward to how the universe will support me today.

We embark on our journey, the family is lovely, the camper is fine - and YES - it has blue curtains and the allocated coloured annexe, everything is exactly as I was shown in my mind.
We get to the $'ss negotiable price, the owners explain that they are incredibly disappointed as another viewer looked at it this week, wound it up too quickly and put 2 tiny tears in the flywires. I'm not sure if it was a result of this or the price they had decided earlier, however, the asking price - $750 lower than what they had advertised.
Wonderful, we think, exactly what we have plus $50 spare.

They continue to ask if we have a little toilet tent - they used it a lot - apparently you can get a porta potty for not much and if camping it makes life so much easier - really! we hadn't thought about that. The husband looks to the wife and asks "we could throw that in with the deal couldn't we" She nods, toilet tent added in too!

Done deal!

They agree to deliver it to us the following week and come for morning tea with us, as we hand them our business card, they mention "Oh, you do natural therapies, great, we have a few questions"
I think "absolutely, of course you do, let's do tea soon, we'd love to chat".

Too easy, all solved, camper van - tick!

As we are leaving, the couple tell us how they have just put in a pool - interesting - we have been thinking of that too - they continue "oh, the man that did it was wonderful, actually he's from Warrandyte! We'll get you all his details"
OK, one door concludes, another opens - off we go again!

Stopping at a lovely cafe, we decide to have lunch as we have several errands to run and won't be home until late tonight.
We all decide exactly what we want - the bill ............... $49.95! (re the $50 spare)
Too funny, the universe even provided lunch for us as part of the deal! THANK YOU!
