Do these people know something I don't?

I'm hoping all of this is a coincidence.

1.Ten years ago I worked for a governmental agency here in town as the marketing director for special events. The agency also handled many other tasks for the city and we had about 15 employees. A friend of mine still works there and she called me and said "I have a present for you from Frances, I'll drop it by after work". (Frances being one of the employees there). I asked her why -- I haven't seen Frances in probably eight years. She said that Frances' New Year's Resolution was to thank all the people in her life that have treated her kindly and I was at the top of the list. She had thought about me a lot over the years and she said that I always did nice things for her and she wanted to do something nice for me. I was pretty shocked to hear this, but I thought that was an extremely nice gesture on her part. I always liked her and I guess the feeling was mutual.

2. When my son was in middle school and high school he was involved with a local community theatre group. He performed in many musical theatre productions. When he was in high school I joined him for a few of those performances so we could "experience the stage together". It was lots of fun for me -- probably not as much fun for him -- having your mom in a show with you when you were in high school. But that is beside the point. We obviously became friends with the director of this community theatre group but I haven't seen him in a long time. I've been to a few shows in the past couple of years, but haven't really spent much time with him to speak of. I got an email from him this weekend -- he wanted to have lunch or dinner to catch up. I was really pleased to get that email because I know how busy he is.

3. Out of the blue I received another email this weekend from a long lost friend. I haven't seen her for probably 10 years. She had gotten my email address through a mutual friend and wanted "to reconnect". We never had a falling out or anything, in fact it was a good friendship. However, we both went our separate ways both professionally and personally. We just lost touch. Now she is reaching out and I'm so glad.

So, is it just a coincidence that three people I haven't kept in touch with on a regular basis have contacted me? Or do they know something I don't?
