Destiny

Today is Sep 11th the day the Twin Towers were attacked. People are talking about this incident all over the News in Radio, TV.
I heard some people say it was destiny that they were held up elsewhere and were not in New York or on one of those fateful flights that day.
That makes me think about the following. It has been about 5 days now after the ER incident. My husband thanks destiny that I was in town when this happened. The reason behind this is………..
My job requires some traveling time to time. It so happened that I was informed on 28th Aug that I may have to go to UK on 1st Sept for 2 weeks on an assignment. This was because the person originally slated to go had a problem in getting VISA. I had agreed as a backup, as they continued to look for other alternatives. Then finally I got the word that I did not have to travel.
So if at all, the assignment had fallen into my lap, I would be far, far away from my people in a remote place all alone having to tend to the whole situation on my own. I have no clue how I would have handled this.
My husband thinks its pure destiny and believes there is another power behind everything which helped us out here.
But I think maybe, I would not have had the problem in the first place, if I was some where else diverted into doing something else. I don’t know………………
I too believe in destiny and the super power behind all the ongoing in this world. A true hypocrite do you think?
