i just know

I woke up extra early in the morning to let the dog out. Unusual. He doesn’t usually wake early. On the way back up, I saw my boyfriend's phone sitting charging. For some reason, I knew he would need the phone so brought it back upstairs with me and put it by him. Sure enough, it rang out of character at 6:00 am for an unusual problem at work.

He asked me why I brought him the phone. I just said, “I don’t know. Just because. Why not. I just knew it.”

He was a bit perplexed, even a bit annoyed because I didn’t really explain it. I didn't mean to not explain it. It’s hard to understand ‘how do you just know.’ You just do. It’s just there. The thought captures my attention and I just notice it and follow the thought. I used to ignore it. Now I follow it. Much more fun now. I pick up the phone before it rings all the time. I wonder what else I can start noticing.
