    There is no point in negative thought, it takes up time and energy which could be used in a positive, happy way!

    be careful wot u ask for ..... it just might happen ;)

    i wish i had a £ for every time in my life i've actually really wished for something to happen & it's actually happened...... it's a wee bit scary tbh....

    im genuinely now starting to wish for things more & more again now & totally focussed on this forum .... & guess wot :question:....they r starting to happen again:cool:

    but its no surprise really..... cos....

    it's not black magic.... my view is that if u really focus enough on something thats realistically achieveable..... then there's a good chance it may actually happen....

    my tuppence for tonite......

    many years ago i worked beside a guy who was in a very senior position but was not very optimistic about life in general & genuinely believed he had a dark cloud hanging over him.... & guess wot :question: .... he always seemed to have bad luck..... & things never seemed to go his way... why :question:... cos thats what he believed & that's wot actually happened

    sorry curly....... dont mean to hi-jack ur diary.... rant over... but any1 reading this diary remember....

    be careful wot u wish or ask for .....cos it may just happen ;)

    I agree it's always worth putting your request out there, if you don't ask you don't get!
