Karma is alive and well

On Saturday when I went into the office looking for my camera, I asked the Security Guard if she could look in the Lost and Found to see if it had been turned in.  She looked and said no.  So as I said in my previous post, I was going to tape up a poster in the locker room to see if anyone had found it.

First thing Monday morning, I put the poster up.  Then on my way back to my office, I seen a young guy who did not know how to get through the locked doors within our office complex.  He was there for a job interview.  I told him that he had to go to the main entrance and use the house phone to call to be let in.  But instead of leaving it at that, I took him to the house phone to make sure he could find it as he was already nervous enough with the upcoming job interview.  While standing by the house phone, an area of the building that I normally am not in, I seen someone I know who is often in the locker room.  I asked him if he had seen the camera on Friday afternoon.  He said no but he would ask the other men in his office as they use that room often for it is the closest washroom facility to where they work.  The security guard heard us talking and said that a red camera was turned in Friday afternoon.  I would have never asked him because I had asked the weekend guard but apparently she did not check the correct place for the lost and found items.

So had I not walked the guy who was there for the interview to the house phone but instead just gave him directions, none of this would have happened and I would not have received my camera back.  Karma is alive and well.

BUT now that I did have my camera back, I took pictures of my St Catherines trail - this is the trail that I walk every day at lunch - AND there is more!!!!   I met Charlo on the course - she just finished walking the entire Camino in April and this is the first time I had seen her since before she left - so she had lots to tell me and I had lots of questions - BUT - I had to get back to work so I had to cut the discussion short.  Here are some pictures of the trail.

  2. Yesss!!! It seems the Camino is already with you, as this type of thing is a regular occurrence on the Camino! Serendipity or Karma, I'm glad your camera is back, and I'm glad your training is continuing to go so well.
    Keep up the good work!!
