In a way I do. Not exactly like the example but rather when I feel angry or upset and see something in someone's signature a few times I have felt much better after reading it. Same happened with a dA stamp once.

Normally it's songs rather than text in someone's signature but it has been known.

Well, I'm not going to get on a religious kick here, but I believe there is a God, and I believe He communicates to us in many ways. So yes, I do believe in signs.

I'm not sure if this is quite the same thing, but when we first got our cat, she came from a home where the couple had just had a baby who was allergic to cats. Kitty didn't understand that, of course, and hated us for taking her away from her home. She stayed out of sight all the time, and then one night I asked Dad to leave the window open (this was before my parents got divorced). Not surprisingly, she siezed her chance and ran away. I felt devastated by guilt (remember, I was a little kid) and two nights later I couldn't sleep. So, really early in the morning, I prayed for her to come back safe. At exactly that time, my Mom was taking the recyclables outside. There was our cat, meowing and purring and rubbing up against Mom's legs like they were best friends.

I believe in something like that. Be is signs, fate, or what-have-you. Something always happening if I'm ready to give up on anything from a writting I'm working on, to people I know, to other more serious things...

A lot of the time it's a song. It happens a lot when I'm driving (since I have a habit of driving when I'm more than ticked off). I'll be ready to just give up and do something and a certian song will come on. And it somehow ends up chaning my mind. It's like one of those things that just tells you to keep on going. Just the last time it was a song I had NEVER heard on the radio, too. Coinsidence? Maybe. I don't know.

The other day, too, I was ready to give up in school. It's just gotten to the point where I think it's pointless to try... And I was looking through some of my stuff I haven't looked through since 5th or 6th grade. And in the middle of all the stuff was something my couisn [who is now deceased] had written to me when we were both little about not giving up and always having eachother to help the other by. Now, I'm not the most religious person, but I have a belief in spirits or those loved ones who have passed on watching over you. And that letter actually made me sit there and actually work harder at my school things.

Be it signs or not, yeah, there is something that I believe that keeps us all going when we really need it.

I don't believe in god, so the concept of something being in a certain place for the sole purpose of helping you out is pretty ridiculous to me.

I was referring to the fact that there would need to be some intelligent being out there to know exactly where and when you needed help. When I get a morale boost by seeing something nearby, I call it a convenient coincidence.

My post is pretty much what DT stated.

DT--> Nice story by the way. ;] I love to read wonderful things like that.

I'm a sign writer, so I tend to ignore them.
