Hi, well, I thought I would post this because it is my blog and I like to share.
We had unexpected company the other day. Two salesmen from an insurance firm. They were very nice and there wasn’t a hard sell, so I thought I would offer them refreshments. We NEVER have unexpected company, so I wondered, What’s the drill… Well, I asked them if they would like something to drink and they said that water would be good. So I went out in the kitchen and tried to think my best Donna Reed thoughts. What to serve with… water? Checked the cupboard. Nope, no homemade goodies there. (Sometimes we have Oreos.) So I shrugged my shoulders, reached into my favorite stash in the freezer and pulled out frozen chocolate kisses, thinking everyone loves chocolate kisses, frozen or not. I poured them onto a small plate, stood tall (5’3″ isn’t short in my book), and took them to the guys.
So, the purpose of all this is to let you know that Donna Reed is alive and well, right here in Iowa. Kind of…
I’m a Red Hat Lady! Does that tell my age? That’s OK. (Even though I rarely tell because I figure if people don’t know my age, I don’t have to act it.) It’s weird, I know, but all my birthdays are ”big birthdays”. Always have been. I celebrate the whole month of January and even into February if I can get away with it. “Can I pick the show? My birthday is closest.” Stuff like that.
Getting back to the Red Hat Ladies, if you are interested, I have a site called, “A Red Hat Lady” and you can see it here http://aredhatlady.com I hope you like it. I have lots of friends there and pictures and stuff. Oh, that reminds me. I’ve got the next program for September and I think it’s fast approaching the end of September. I’d better get a move on.
I think we’ll go to my favorite restaurant in Forest City — Shooters. The food is delicious and I love the atmosphere. I hope it’s not too “old hat”, though. I think I took them there last year at this time. Doesn’t matter. It’s close to home, easy to get to, we have a great time and all I have to do is come up with a theme. Sounds easy enough. Actually the hardest part is getting hold of everyone. They’ve got caller ID. Ha ha. That’s a joke in case anyone doesn’t realize it.
Hi! Here is one thing you probably don’t know about me: I have a 102 year old grandmother. My sister and I visit her quite often and my sister always hugs Grandma first and says “Good-bye and I love you.” So I always follow up next with “Good-bye, Grandma. I love you more” and we all giggle. Well, my sister wasn’t there this last week end, but I still said “I love you.” She laughed and said, “You’d better.” Then she just gigled and giggled. I just love visiting my Grandma!

What is wrong with positive thinking? I mean, it’s thinking and it’s positive. Your brain is listening to what you are thinking day in and day out. Why not make your thoughts positive?
Especially if you add feeling. Feeling is a powerful force behind the words.
For instance, if you are actually sick and you look in the mirror and say “I feel great. Every day in every way I am better, better, and better.” And you start smiling and perking up. Then you start feeling a little perkier. You start off with a weak smile, but it gets stronger. The key to all this is, you need to realize that you are PROJECTING, not lying to yourself. That being the case, you don’t feel like you’re lying to yourself and you feel more like you are in control.
Your mind is very powerful. I mean, think about when you were growing up. You were constantly told something over and over. Now, that’s who you are today — what you heard over and over. How can you not carry that with you your whole life?
That is, until YOU decide to do something about it.
Why? The more you think it, the more you say it. The more you say it, the more you attract it. Do you want it in your life?
Were the thoughts you heard while growing up, “You are too fat! You never stop eating!” “You are ugly. No one will ever want you.” “We’re poor. We’ve always been poor. We’ll always be poor.” “Gees, you are so stupid. Can’t you get something right once in a while?” “You’re always screaming. Can’t you be quiet?”
You recognized those words that have turned into thoughts, didn’t you? They were hammered into your subconscious. “No you can’t have dessert. You never finish anything on your plate.” To this day, when the hostess scrapes a plate of food into the sink, you cringe, knowing it was yours, don’t you?
It’s like in the book, The Secret. It says “What you think about the most or focus on the most will appear in your life.” What are you thinking about? What others have always said — or how you have changed and left the old ways behind?
What is wrong with positive thinking? Nothing. Especially if you put positive feeling behind it. Remember, you are projecting into your future the life you want. The more you think the life you want, the more you say it. The more you say it, the more you attract it. What are you attracting into your life?
What is wrong with positive thinking? Nothing. Positive thinking is the way to go.
Do you have needs? Wants? Are they being fulfilled? This paragraph from “The Secret” gives you the way to have them fulfilled.
“Everything you want is an inside job! The outside world is the world of effects; it’s just the result of thoughts. Set your thoughts and frequency on happiness. Radiate the feelings of happiness and joy within you, and transmit that into the Universe with all of your mind, and you will experience true heaven on earth.”
Read that every day and see how your life can change.

This blog is here because I want everyone to know that “Your life is in your hands. No matter where you are now, no matter what has happened in your life, you can begin to consciously choose your thoughts and you can change your life. There is no such thing as a hopeless situation. Everything in your life can change.” That is from “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne.
I read it EVERY day. People ask me why I do that. Don’t I get tired of it? Listen, I will do everything I can to keep the above paragraph in my mind. I will never forget it, I will never give up, I will never lose hope. And if I can share that with others, then I will do everything I can to do that.
If that is your quest, also, then let me know. Let me know how you accomplish your peace, keep your hope, live your faith.
Also, let me know if you have any questions about accomplishing your peace, keeping your hope, living your faith. I will answer as quickly as possible!
Thank you for reading. I look forward to hearing from you.
