Enjoying the Sunshine whilst Saving for the Rainy Day

Sun_Addict

Hi DFW just catching up with your diary. Hope your grumps pmt clears up soon. Mr SA used to be a right grumpy old so and so at times until he got ill. Now he's so grateful to still be here he doesn't get grumpy (YET!!!!). I'm sure it won 't last! Hope today's a good one!

Morning

Can you flipping believe it, the weather man fibbed to me again!!!!!! We laid concrete (the royal we that is - I watched and dh did ) and the weather reports yesterday were sunny for all of yesterday (correct) and all of today (incorrect!) Dh reckons it will be set but I'm just thinking :wall: :eek:. Hmmmmm.

So cinema later, also need to finalise meal plan to make sure I have enough to last. Everyone including dh seems to be having a growth spurt :eek: and they've not stopped eating! The fruit has lasted 4 days as has the veg and I'm not sure there is any packed lunch stuff left :eek:. Grrr. Still have a little money left in budget so not a huge problem, yet.

I'm going to try the dog on green tripe later. It looks foul and I'm not sure I'll like it anymore once its defrosted and smells! Dog has loved the chicken though and has learned over the past week how to dig a hole so that he can bury his bone not sure whether to be :T or :mad:. :rotfl: He's completely ignored all his cooked bones I've ever bought him and cooked treats so I guess he knew what he wanted all along eh :cool:.

I was talking about the secret book before and 1 part of what you need to do to change your way of thinking, your outlook, your luck even, is to write a list of 100 things you are grateful/ thankful for each day :eek: I haven't written my list I keep it in my head and count on my fingers, anyway, I get stuck at around 35 each time . I need more practice clearly. It tells you that every thought you have is like a magnet. So if you are constantly thinking negatively you will draw negativity into your life. If you think about the positives in your life you will draw positives in. This must be why I'm always coming across people who never seem to have bad luck. They do, like the rest of us, but they look for positives in the bad circumstances, I.e it could be time for a change, there is a lesson here to be learned etc. I'm determined to change my way of thinking until it becomes a way of life this thinking positively incidentally my meditation teacher (she's become my stand in mum and guru) wanted to see me for weeks and for one reason or another I've had to cancel. I watched the secret just the other day as its the only time I had since getting it and my teacher called the last time I cancelled to make another appointment and said to think about what I really want in life so we can start to put into place a plan of action to get it ....using the secret! If id gone to one of those earlier appointments i'd have had no clue what she was on about as I hadn't yet seen it! Meant to be hey. I always believe things happen in an order we don't understand but do so for the highest good of all and its one of my daily mantras . I've also randomly been told about the book by 3 seperate people that don't know each other over the last month, so decided the other day I must buy it. Only to look on amazonia and see it for 10 :eek: then EE offers to send it to me divine intervention at it's best hey :eek::T anyway I'll stop my spiritual ramblings now...I'm probably the only one who can find excitement in the sychronicity of this

Off to catch up on you all x

please-let-me-be-lucky

That sounds like something I should do!! Xx

cottage_retreatist

that sounds like a really good idea DFW321!

deffo don't think I could reach 100 though! maybe if you asked me about the things I didn't like at the moment - in fact for those I think I could go waaaaay over 100!

Got to think more positively

r u trying your dog on a raw diet? Interesting! I'm moving the cat onto all natural food but not raw - we bought some liver for him the other day and he wasn't interested so we'll do the best we can with the packaged stuff!!!!

have a wonderful day and I hope the concrete sets ok!

Oh that book sounds like a good one, perhaps someone would be kind enough to send me a copy

Don't know that I could find 100 things either but have always been a firm believer of things happening for a reason, even though some things seem too cruel to bare.

Hope your concrete is ok, I'm sure it will be.

I find this really interesting - I think I have been following this all along and never knew it.

I was emailed The Secret in 2010 and have not read it yet:eek: but the above is kind of who I am.

I don't write down 100 positive things but I do always think positive about everything.

My DH gets annoyed with me and when he is on a downer he always asks 'Why are you always so positive about things?'.

I have always been like this, of course I have down days but when something happens (which others may see as negative) I always see the positive.

My mum and dad are not negative people either and interestingly no one in my family have ever had depression or any thing like that. My mum and dad would be considered poor by some standards and don't have much, in fact my dad has learning difficulties but still they just get on and do things.

My DH has had depression for years and has other health problems as well - I know he has had a hard/bad life but I can't help thinking he attracts negativity. And interestingly his family all seemed to have been negative people.
If anything 'bad' happens he is the first to sulk/be moody whereas I don't see it like that. Eventually he see's it my way but it is hard for him - I wonder if some people are naturally positive and some negative??

I think I will ask him to read the book as well.
