Synchonicity

What are the odds of this happening?
I took out a junk novel by Sue Grafton-she writes the alphabet. "P is for Peril" is this book tittle.
Guess the name of the character/spouse who "went missing?" Dow (short for Dowan in the story) I have never yet run across a character named Dow, my soon to be ex-husband. Every thing has meaning so I guess that this is the meaning. The relationship is over (except for the paperwork), Dow is gone from my life. I just love being on my own. Financially it will be hard but as I told the 8th Day folks yesterday, "I gave myself permission to get a divorce" and now each day is a blessing.

Like this evening. We are scheduled to get hit with the first storm of the season today. I came home early because I didn't want to fight the huge traffic snarls that will ensue this evening. I needed to get a prescription filled so I headed to the store but I bundled up, strung on my backpack, boot on my feet and a good scarf around my neck and headed for about 1/2 hour walk to the store. I was one of very few folks outside walking. The street lights were on (at 6PM It is getting dark at 4:30.) The snow was very, very gently falling. No wind. It was truly beautiful and I felt I could walk forever. Quiet, dark with city lights around. Some folks have Christmas lights up, not too many yet. I was at peace, I am afraid I overuse the word but after so many years of anxiety, peace in my heart, mind, and body are a wonderful Christmas gift.
