Life in High Def – An Artists perception

I’ve been absent from here although that hasn’t been my intent.  Life has gotten in the way and has bestowed upon me a number of blessings – a few of which I wasn’t even expecting!

A little while ago I wrote about thinking positive and about an “experiment” I was about to embark on to see just what positive thinking can actually do in ones life.

Well, consider this a brief update:

–  My husband now gets a gas allowance from his business, something he wasn’t taking before.  This comes in very handy as our gas budget was ballooning out of control and was one thing I’d been worrying about (thinking negatively).  Once I began to believe that we’d find a way to keep gas in the beast which is the truck, this took place;

–  Lean Manufacturing, it’s something many Companies are doing to try and improve profits while reducing extraneous workloads that aren’t necessary or removing steps that don’t really add any value.  Although implementation in a Powder Coating facility is difficult and challenging once successful, my husband’s income will jump up by over $10,000!!  That is to take place for Feb of 2009;

–  I had been pondering getting into some “demand” writing when a job literally fell into my lap!  My first assignment was a brief writeup, my second was challenging but interesting and once I’d completed it, boy did it feel great!  The feedback was extremely positive and my entry into the “demand” writing world has begun – and all I did was think about it in a positive manner and things just naturally  led to it;

–  Our hydro woes?  Well it seems as though, just as I thought, the meter attached to our home is one that has a faulty circuit board and is recording our homes usage in double time!  Apparently there is a known issue with certain Smart Meters.  Now, just to get it replaced and have the billing properly corrected and all will be great in this area as well;

–  Went to the casino the other evening,  For the last while all I’ve done is donate but this time around I decided to use my positive attitude and thinking and I claimed to the family before I left that I was going to double the amount I was taking with me.  Did I?  Actually no,  – I tripled it!  On my way in to the casino, there was a sign announcing some of the upcoming events.  One event was dedicating an evening to a group of people – it just so happened to be the group of people I had written about in my article!  I took that as a sign that indeed the “law of attraction” was working very hard in my life.  That little ‘sign’ gave me an additional boost to my positive thinking that night;

–  I’d been working on a budget, ick yes, I know … and of course I was worried…then I decided that perhaps I should just remain on the positive thought kick and just get the budget done!  It turned out that we were able to make the budget work great and now I have even more reasons to smile;

– Both my youngest daughter and second oldest son studied like crazy and after my little talk about thinking positive, they both aced their Driver’s tests and gained their license;

– A friend of another daughter received the ‘think positive’ speech from me just this morning.  She was in a woest me funk and worried that she’d not get a job anywhere.   She’d sent resumes all over the place and not a single call or email from any of them.   I told her to think with a positive manner that she was going to get an interview and was going to get a job.  She decided to try it.  She contacted a Company at around 11 this morning and they called her back a few hours later.  She has an interview tomorrow and a strong opportunity for employment.

So, if you are in a position right now where things aren’t going quite as you would like?  Change the way you are thinking.  Don’t think that something negative will happen, or that something won’t likely come about that you would like, for whatever reason.  Just open it up, think positive about it, send it out to the Universe and believe!

I’ll update more  on the positive happenings that take place, as I go along.  I’ve gotten back to being the positive person I have always tried to be but forgot about for awhile.  Why would I ever walk away from this?

More to come later!

Have a great, positive thought, positive belief day!
