It’s been a crazy few months but a few weeks ago a friend recommended watching “The Secret.” The movie about the Law of Attraction.  It changed my life.  That night I felt so silly because after watching it it became so clear that I did need to take responsibility for the things happening around me.

Let me tell you about the next day.

I woke up and the first thing I did is go through and list off the things that I am grateful for.

Next, I listed out the things I wanted or wanted to happen.

Then I started my day.  This was a Sunday and I was having company over to have a little jam session.  to prepare for the party I needed to stop and do a little grocery shopping.  I picked up everything I needed including 2 bottles of Ginger Ale.  Now I should include, although I doubt words could describe, that Ginger Ale is my absolutely favorite drink and picking up a couple of bottle was a common thing.  Now, while I was checking out, for some unknown reason I felt compelled to put the bottles of Ginger Ale back.  I can’t explain it, I just thought, “I don’t really need these today.”

As I was driving home I remembered I had a gift certificate for CVS, so I thought I’d stop in and get a couple more things for the party and get my Ginger Ale from there.  I walk in and the first thing I notice on the first shelf is Peanut Butter M&Ms, and they are on sale “Buy 1 Get 1 Free.”  I snatched up two bags and go and get the other items I wanted plus 2 bottles of Ginger Ale.  I get up to the check out counter and the cashier tells me that they had just got in the larger 2 liter Ginger Ale bottles and they were on sale for cheaper than the smaller 40oz bottles.  Crazy.

I left with a  huge smile, and while not exactly what I expressed in my thoughts earlier that morning certainly made all the more powerful simply because I maintained a positive attitude all day.

next up…$100,000
