this is an abraham blog after all

After dwelling on my poor mood, inspired by not only my lack of writing portfolio but also my current inability to run (damn ankle) and our uncertainty about being able to go on to vacation next week (thanks, Massage Envy, for keeping us in suspense), I decided to listen to Abraham on my way to pick up cat food, Amway connection notwithstanding.

Abraham spoke about our moods, and how our moods reflect whether we're problem oriented or solution oriented, and how solutions don't come when your vibration matches that of the problem.

I gotta admit, from a completely practical standpoint, spiritual influences disregarded entirely, that they've got a point. Who's going to write when she's all mopey about not having written?

Would Richard Bannister have run a mile in under 4 minutes if he only focussed on his near-misses? Somehow he got past the historical evidence of what is, and aligned himself with what could be.

I was feeling better, and as I left Target, I looked down and there was a dollar bill. I picked it up, and drove to Kroger to buy a scratch-off ticket with it.

I did not win.

Happily, I don't really care. If I'd picked up a $100 bill and spent it on 5 $20 lottery tickets and not won anything, I might care a little, but as it stands it was only a wasted stop. Besides, I doubt I would have spent $100 on lottery tickets all at once to begin with, wherever the money may have come from.

So now I'm off to do some focus wheels and rearrange my thinking about writing, and money, and working for the man, and getting time off while working for the man, and whatever else might occur to me before time to go to work.
