My Gut and the things it says

Do you ever get the gut feeling were you're just sure about something? I do - all the time. And then I promptly ignore it, brushing it all as silly, or too crazy to be true. With out fail days or weeks later I'm internally chastising myself for not listening to my gut, and vowing nest time to pay attention to my instincts.

Over the past year I've had no less then 20 people randomly tell me to 'listen to my gut' or 'go with my instincts'. Ok universe I get it, I'm listening not. This year will be henceforth known as the year of the gut. From this point forward, when the thought pop's into my head that I should call a friend, I'm actually going to call them. Not brush it off - because I'm 1 of 11 people on the planet that HATES making phone calls, then getting a text the next day that said friend had a crappy night.  Or randomly thinking about great-aunt so and so on the drive home from work, only to hear that was the moment she passed on.

This year, I'm going to care less if that thing that pops into m head is silly, get over hating phone call's, be more open to the longer way home, and just listen to what my instincts say. This year - I'm going with my gut.
