Day 191: X-factor

"Anything that is unexpected is the X-factor" - Dante Hall

 Project 365: #191

Predawn this morning: I happened to take my coffee outside in the hope that the cool (actually, freezing) autumn air would shock me into some form of wakefulness. I saw the most magnificent X in the sky! It was certainly an unexpected X-factor! As we are within 30 miles of NYC and three bustling airports, we have continual air traffic overhead and  see many vapour trails daily...it  is also the only way that we know we are relatively close to "the city". Anyway, these trails were unusual and caught my eye, like I had been left an unexpected message, like "X marks the spot".  We have been going through the ups and downs of settling somewhere new with all the hassles and anxiety attached, and have generally been battling to stay positive. I took this X as a reminder, that whenever I loose my way or forget my faith I should look up, and I will stay on course! I have been remarkably more positive for the rest of the day!
