I posted this on the blog but didn't want anyone here to miss it:-)
This came to me today from Kate Nowak, from www.bettertobless.com
If this isn't inspiring...
Very much along the lines of Abraham's 'wouldn't it be wonderful...'
Enjoy and may you be having many wonderful happenings:-)
blessings,
Tina
In the 1950s a dynamic teacher named Neville Goddard spoke often of the importance of keeping watch over our feelings and emotions. One of his students wrote the following letter to him, explaining in detail the amazing result of keeping her mood elevated. Because it is as relative today as it was a half-century ago, I wanted to share it with you. As you will see, this woman felt the feeling of her wish fulfilled, letting her mood be determined by what she wanted rather than by what she had. She wrote:
"At the time this wonderful thing happened to me I was out of a job and had no family to fall back upon for support. I needed just about everything. To find a decent job, I needed a car to look for it, and though I had a car it was so worn out it was ready to fall apart. I was behind in my rent; I had no proper clothes to seek a job; and today it's no fun for a woman of fifty-five to apply for a job of any kind. My bank account was almost depleted and there was no friend to whom I could turn.
"My desperation forced me to put my imagination to the test. Indeed, I had nothing to lose. It was natural for me, I suppose, to begin by imagining myself having everything I needed. But I needed so many things and in such short order that I found myself exhausted when I finally got through the list, and by that time I was so nervous I could not sleep.
"One lecture night I heard you [Nevelle] tell of an artist who captured the 'feeling' or 'word' as you called it, of 'isn't it wonderful?' in his personal experience. I began to apply this idea to my case. Instead of thinking of and imagining every article I needed, I tried to capture the feeling that something wonderful was happening to me - not tomorrow, not next week - but right now. I would say over and over and over to myself as I fell asleep. Isn't it wonderful! Something marvelous is happening to me now!" And as I fell asleep I would feel the way I would expect to feel under such circumstances.
"I repeated that imaginary action and feeling for two months, night after night, and one day in early October, I met a casual friend I hadn't see for months who informed me that he was about to leave on a trip to New York. I had lived in New York many years ago and we talked of the city a few moments and then parted. I completely forgot the incident.
"One month later, to the day, this man called at my apartment and simply handed me a certified check in my name for $2500. After I got over the initial shock of seeing my name on a check for so much money, the story that unfolded seemed like a dream. It concerned a friend I had not seen or heard from in more than 25 years. The friend of my past, I now learned, had become extremely wealthy in those 25 years.
"Our mutual acquaintance who had brought the check to me had met him quite by accident during the trip to New York the month before. During their conversation they spoke of me, and for reasons I was not to know (for to this day I have not heard from him personally and have never attempted to contact him) this old friend decided to share a portion of his great wealth with me.
"For the next two years, from the office of his attorney, I received monthly checks so generous in amount they not only covered every necessary requirement of daily living, but left much over for all the lovely things of life: a car, clothes, a spacious apartment - and best of all, no need to earn my daily bread.
"This past month, I received a letter and some legal papers to be signed which provide the continuation of this monthly income for the rest of my natural life!"

thanks for sharing!

Hi Diane!
How wonderful! Great story,isn't it?! I have posted notes on my fridge, in my wallet, and by my bed and go to sleep at night saying this out loud, and followed by many 'thank you's'!
Then I really feel how wonderful my life is and how many marvelous things are happening right now and doze off to sleep:-)
Upon awakening I do the same and then throughout the day also.
Yesterday I went for a run/walk while in this delicious energy and then came across a bunch of cows and saw the sweetest sight ever... they were licking each other so gently and when I passed and sent them rays of appreciation, they kept on looking at me, turning their heads as I passed and I felt SO blessed to have been allowed to see such a display of unconditional affection and beauty!!
Marvelous indeed!
By consciously doing this I feel myself align with my essence of joy and feel a deeper sense of gratitude for everything...
I'll keep you posted as to what else shows up:-)
Have a great day and many blessings,
Tina

Hi Tina,
Don't you love when animals seem to be saying hello to you?! I walk on and near the beach every morning and notice - and this happened on a street in the city the other day too come to think of it - that dogs will pull their leash over to where I am because they want to say hello! I especially love when their owners say, "he/she doesn't like that many people but..."
I do not have pets at the moment but I love that there are always animals to love, wherever we happen to meet!
Love the 'isn't it wonderful' !! Thanks for sharing your joy!
A great day and many blessings to everyone!

Hi Diane,
How sweet! reminds me of that movie 'City of Angels' where the babies would turn their heads to look at the angels and the parents wondering what their child was looking at!
Which has also been interesting to note when I'm walking past the little ones because they really do look and turn:-)
Isn't this so much fun?
have a great day and enjoy the beach for me:-)
blessings,
Tina
