How I'm Doing?

I was answering some comments on my blog and thought that I would post here since I haven't posted in a long time.

Actually I'm feeling pretty good now. It's the start of a new year and I can't say that I have had too many regrets in 2011.

I have learned many lessons though and I don't have any ill will or anger towards those who I have felt such things for. I have decided to release those negative thoughts and focus on the positive and focus on the lessons that I have learned from these experiences.

My Thankgiving was joyful, my Christmas was so much better that the one before and I am very grateful for that!

Right now its early morning (very early morning LOL!) and I have a cinammon candle burning in my window as a beacon of light for those early morning travellers that are out there.

My goals for 2012 are making more money online, and to stop and enjoy my life more and to stop every now and then and smell the roses!

Here Is My Gratitude List For Today!

I was reading someone else's gratitude blog post and it made me realize that it has been a while since I last posted a gratitude list.

Here is my gratitude list for today:

1. I am grateful for my home! Even though I am still having some financial problems relating to being able to keep my home I still have it as of right now! It is a lot to be grateful for! So many people are having problems being able to keep their homes that I feel very grateful for the fact that I still have my home.
   

2. I am so grateful for my cat! My cat is my companion!
   

3. I am so grateful for the food that I have! Would you believe it I actually have meat for a change! I'm going to cook some pasta with beef sauce later on tommorrow - so that means that I will be chopping onions and garlic as well!
   

4. I'm grateful that I actually have a positive balance in my bank account! (That is no mean feat to achieve!)
   

5. I am so grateful for where I live. It is so pleasant where I live that I just love it! It's not the city and it's not the boondocks - it's somewhere in between!
   

And that is my gratitude list for today!

Here's My Astrology Reading For Today

Here is my free horoscope reading for today

"Regarding your current struggle or debate, you should know that there are more people on your side than aren't ... and the people who aren't don't have much pull with the powers that be. Keep pushing for what you want, and keep talking to the people who can help make it happen. You're gaining real momentum, and you could reach an exciting tipping point today. Whatever has been holding you back is long gone -- and it's not coming back! Stay with this positive frame of mind."

This horoscope reading seems very appropriate for me today as I am going through something quite major in my life which has a lot to do with my financial situation and it's good to see these words in this reading as I am a very big law of attraction fan!

I'm just trying to get through this problem in my life right now and I can use all the help that I can get in this manner and like my horoscope says I have to stay with a positive frame of mind.

It's really something how one's horoscope reading can help with the problems that one is having in their lives and sometimes these reading provide helpful hints toward the solutions as well!

So I'm really going to try and stay positive and get this problem solved!

It All Comes Down To Trust

I consider that illnesses such as stress, anxiety, depression, phobias etc. all manifest from an individual’s ‘misunderstanding’ of how the Universe works, which in turn creates a lack of trust in themselves and the Universe (we are all part of the Universal Oneness).

Trusting Yourself And The Universe

I just got finished reading another helpful article on the law of attraction.

Actually this site mentions the tao as well as the universe.

Basically it says that we have to trust ourselves and the Universe more.

I'm dealing with a very big problem now and I have read that the only reasons why our problems are so big is because we make them that way. The fact that I have even managed to hold on this long is really quite a miracle in and of itself and for that I am truly grateful.

I guess I'm finding it hard to trust in either myself or the Universe because what I want hasn't come to manifest yet. But the site does have some helpful information about trust and it even includes some meditation questions that you can ask yourself.

Here is a link to the article:

Trusting The Tao

"each day I am alive I feel is a gift from God"

I saw that someone posted this and it really made me think! Actually when I read it it made me feel good! It made me think about how good it feels to be alive!

There have been a lot of people around me who have been sick lately because of the weather but I have been relatively healthy during this winter.

When I say this saying - it really made me feel good!

It's a very good and inspirational quote and it really did make me feel good and I hope that if you are reading this blog post that it will make you feel good as well.

My Gratitude List For Today

Again I have been feeling down lately - mostly because what I wanted hasn't manifested yet.

I have been reading a lot more lately on the law of attraction and it all seems to come down to some basic things. Things like one's feelings and vibrations - positive feelings and positive vibrations. When negative thoughts come into my mind I'm supposed to replace them with positive thoughts and see my visions for the kind of life that I would like to live.

Gratitude also plays an important part. When you feel and show gratitude it "opens you up" so that more can come into your life.

So here is my gratitude list for today!

• I am grateful for the food that I have! It may not be much but at least it keeps my belly full and I have food that will last me for more than a day!
  
  
• I'm grateful that I have a good supply of catfood for my cat! I was able to buy a big bag of catfood for her and it will last her for at least the end of the month!
  
  
• I'm grateful to have a roof over my head! There's a guy who I think is homeless who is around the area where I live. I don't know if he has a place to stay but one day he came to the public library and I think somebody bought him some food from the vending machine. So it just goes to show you that no matter how bad your life is there is always someone more worse off than you!
  
  
• I'm grateful for the little "gratitude" candle picture that I found online! It reminds me that I have a small candle at home and I'm going to light it tonight and remember all the things that I am grateful for.
  
  
• Actually I'm grateful for this day! It's winter and there's snow everywhere but the air still feels great and it felt great breathing this air into my lungs!

I also have a gratitude journal where I write my gratitude lists but I also like the idea of having one online - just so people can see an example of what a gratitude list can look like.

Everyone have a GREAT Day!

Been Feeling Down For A Few Days Now.....

I have been feeling down for the past few days - mostly, I know, because of my feelings! There is something that I want very, very much but I don't have it yet. I realize that my thoughts and feelings are thinking about what I don't have instead of knowing what I should be focusing on - which is what it is that I want to have.

It's very hard trying to keep my focus on what it is that I do want because I want it so badly and I don't have it yet.

Naturally I would like to become more finacially stable and live the life of my dreams but I seem to be blocking what I want because of the feelings that I am having.

For those of you who are in a similar situation where there is something that you really, really want and it hasn't manifested itself yet I hope this blog post will be helpful to you (as well as to me).

From the things that I have read concerning the law of attraction - what you focus on you will get. If you haven't gotten it then that means that you are blocking it by thinking negative thoughts and feeling negative feelings. I actually read a blog post from a woman who managed to make one of her (bigger) bills disappear simply by stating to the universe that she wished that the bill would just disappear - and it worked. The bill people called her up and said that she didn't have to pay the bill anymore! That just goes to show me that the law of attraction really does work!

Maybe I'm just going through some sort of test to see how badly I want it?

And while I'm feeling bad about what I don't have, now would be a good time to post another gratitude list!

I'm grateful that:

• that I have a nice warm home to go to
  
  
• that I have food to eat both in my refridgerator and the kitchen shelves
  
  
• that I have a positive balance in my bank account! Because there have been times that I have over-drawn my account and had to pay over $100 in bank fees!
  
  
• I belong to Google's Adsense program because it has earned me some nice spending money. I have also earned money online by writing guest blog posts - so I have earned money online!

I'm still working at being a master of the law of attraction just like the others that I have read about who have been able to manifest the life of their dreams!

Triumph Over Hardships

Triumph Over Hardships
by Jane Powell on March 24, 2010

Think life is hard, and it's hard!

When you dwell on your problems or what you don't have, you generate negative energy, and chances are your life won't change for the better.

Why not focus on the possibilities?

When you make up your mind to do something, you'll find you can.

Instead of thinking about barriers in life, reach out after opportunities.

Instead of seeing a locked door, see a key.

Instead of thinking about the rough mountain climb ahead, see yourself standing on the summit.

Today, resolve to let go of the struggles and embrace your potential. Your shift in attitude will shift your life from the shadows into the sunshine.

Going Through Some Difficult Times Lately......

I'm working on the law of attraction - sometimes until it hurts! That may be one of the problems that I am having with it - that I'm trying too hard!

This week I got "hit" with 2 new bills and a shut-off notice! Not very good news! So I was starting to feel very depressed! I was thinking things like "why does this keep happening to me?" - which is also probably contributing to the problem.

I did some research online and found a blog article that talks about "chemicalization". Here is an excerpt from the article:

That lady was relieved to learn that another dynamic law was working for her-the law of chemicalization.

You’ve heard it said that things have to get worse sometimes before they can get better; that the getting worse process is actually a part of the improvement process; that what seems failure is actually success being born in the situation. That’s chemicalization!

Chemicalization sounds like a negative process, but actually it is a very positive one, a natural, normal one. Though it is an uncomfortable experience, it is worth going through, because it is always a sign that cleansing is taking place. Something higher and better always results from this experience.

When these periods come, remind yourself, “This is nothing to fear. This is not evil. There Is only good at work In this experience. Healing Is now taking place In my world. I rest, relax and let It.” As you nonresistantly meet chemicalization in this way, very soon brighter conditions will appear.

It did help to make me feel a little bit more better! I just wish that things were not so hard! I still have my financial goals - but am I anywhere near it? No.

According to all of the advice given I just have to keep going and not give up. Appreciate and be grateful for the good that is going on in my life.

I'll keep everyone updated...........
