5 Things I'm Grateful For

I hear more and more on the importance of gratitude and dwelling on the things that make you happy and how doing this can indeed make you happier and healthier, not to mention making you more pleasant to be around.

Lately, I haven't been doing this. I find myself worried about a variety of issues looming large and generating a lot of venom. Doesn't help. Intellectually, I know this.

So it's time to invite the energy I want by showing my appreciation for all that I have--and I do have so much.

In that spirit I present a quick list of five things I'm grateful for:

1. Firefox (gee I hope the IE police don't hear me)
2. Gooseberries
3. Candlelight dinners with hubby
4. Family
5. A good laugh via a friend


Thank you, Universe!

Yay! It Worked! (Caribbean ads)/Energy Exchange with the Universe of Blogs

I don't know what other people are seeing but I'm seeing an ad on my site for a Belize resort. Way cool! Writing about the tropical resorts got me an ad about a tropical resort. Yay!

Maybe this business of blog ad software scanning for keywords and providing related stuff is a way of reinforcing that you should focus on what you want, not what you don't want, because whatever you focus on is what you will undoubtedly get in this life. This is a theme that was reinforced many times and many ways in a training session I attended this week. A quote I really liked from the course: "Change is constant and inevitable. You can get bitter or you can get better." So true.

Be careful with what energy you put out there. The universe (and blog ad software) complies with whatever you ask for.

We Won the Lottery (Ask the Universe for What You Want Revisited)

So I guess it's true: ask the universe for what you want and you will get it.

Last night I am putting the rice up to boil for dinner when hubby says "I won the lottery."

Me: "What?"

Hubby: "I won the lottery. I checked the ticket online today."

Me: "You won the lottery?"

Hubby: "Yeah. The MegaMillions."

Me: "How much did you win?"

Hubby: "Three dollars. I had one number plus the powerball number."

So, go ahead and ask the universe for what you want. Um, you might want to be a little more specific than I was.

All the same: Thanks, Universe!! :)
