I had a visit to the docs today and on the way home we popped into a shopping centre that is out of my reach on the buggy but where my husband could take a look at Halfords. While he shopped I sat in the car as is my custom these days.
I spotted my old next door neighbour and waved through the car door, knowing she works on this site and I haven’t seen her to chat for a couple of years, she came over to chat through the car window and asked how I was; I gave her my usual reply for people I know who are not close friends, “I’m ok thanks”. She then preceded to tell me she had been dx with MS.
The strange thing about this was I’ve been thinking about her for the last few days as I remember a few years ago she had injections for vitamin B12, I don’t know why she was in my thoughts but do think that I somehow picked up a signal that something was wrong or that she would be in my life again.
I told her to call me if ever she needs to talk about how she is feeling but can’t get over the fact that I had been thinking of her in the last couple of days.
This sort of thing seems to happen in my life now and again and happens to my daughter a lot.
It has left me feeling very stange indeed, I wondered if anyone else has these coincidences if indeed this is what they are.
Hi Wendy,nothing like that springs to mind,but with my memory…What I have noticed is that things happen to me in threes,so a bad thing will be balanced out,but nothing involving numbers.
Thanks Wb; it could be that old thing about women and intuition I suppose and yes I wait for the third thing to happen and once it has breath a sigh of relief.
I don’t think it’s telepathy, but I do think it’s an aspect of normal human psychology.
When we think of someone, and they DO pop-up or phone within the next few days, we’re quick to see a connection - especially if something is wrong.
But all the times we think of someone, but nothing happens, we forget all about it.
So there’s a sort of positive reinforcement at work. If we think of someone we haven’t seen for a while, and then bump into them in the street, it’s “Yay, I must be psychic!” But if we think of them, but it’s another year 'til we hear from them or see from them, we don’t link the two at all.
We think of people all the time. How many times have you said: “Oh, how funny, I was just thinking of you the other day!”? But how many other times did you think of someone, but nothing happened, so you forgot all about it? The human mind loves a coincidence!

Thanks for that Tina, you could be on to something, I suppose it was because I was thinking of her in relation to MS and thinking that she obviously didn’t have MS then, just low B12 and of course I have unfortunately been proved wrong.
