The power of positive thinking prevails!

As somebody who grew up being very negative, I have really tried to embrace the power of positive thinking as an adult. My sister is really the driving force behind this because I can still easily fall back into my old "Grinchy" ways. She constantly reminds me that if you put it out there, it will happen. Whether this is how the universe really works or this is how we just get through life, the result is the same: less stress and more joy!

So I put the power into effect yesterday when I bought a lottery ticket. I made it known to myself and those around me that we would win some money. I didn't have a specific amount in mind, but I let no other thought enter my mind other than us winning. I know this seems silly, but I just put it out there. Well low and behold...we won $2!!! I know your thinking $2 really, but I won something. Now I don't ever play the lottery so I am not sure what I should have been expecting. The moral of the story is to be positive and hopeful always because it can't hurt, it can only improve your life and those around you. However, negativity kills! It kills your spirit and the spirit's of those around you.

Thanks again Tiff for being such a good big sis!

By the way, I am rocking the new fall background to will fall here faster. Can't you just smell the cinnamon and pumpkin? Who wants to go to the pumpkin patch?
