A couple weeks ago while folding laundry I noticed that a few of my “house Ts” were looking rather tired. Its right around the ‘tired’ stage that most t-shirts become the comfortable go to wardrobe for puttering around the apartment.
A couple shirts were a bit frayed at the band collar area; those two Ts were souvenir t-shirts from Palm Springs. They’ve seen sunnier days but I hang onto them as they evoke pleasant memories. Still—while carefully folding the Palm Springs Ts I made a mental note: “Buy some new Palm Springs t-shirts next trip out…”
Not anything that I jotted down on paper but a mental Post-it to reference some time in the future.
Imagine my surprise, then—while lazily sliding hangars at my local TJMaxx, to find a “Palm Springs” t-shirt in the mix of ‘compare at’ couture.
I don’t live anywhere near Palm Springs, California. I’m roughly 2,000+ road miles away according to Google. Yet there it was—staring back at me for only $14.99.
Naturally I snapped it up. But the purchase has me thinking about the power of thought. We’ve all heard the popular term “manifesting” and now I think there’s something to that. Like, who hasn’t thought of an absent acquaintance or friend that for inexplicable reasons makes a phone call? Baffling.
There are countless books on the power of the mind. Do we underuse that power? I can emphatically state that the things, places, and desires that I’ve secretly wished for have all happened. Maybe not at the time frame I wanted but they occurred or arrived nonetheless.
I think there’s something to the power of positive thinking as the expression goes. I have felt ‘less than’ for years. Maybe its time to rewrite the dialogue loop inside. It can’t hurt. Maybe the time is now to put exactly what I want and need out there in the universe.
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. Matthew 7:7

The Laws of Attraction are activated and most especially if you Voice something out loud. I think we only use perhaps 10% of our Mental capacity and the Brain isn’t really understood completely. When The Man suffered a catastrophic Brain Injury the Medical Community told me he’d be a Vegetable and be unresponsive for Life. I told them I wasn’t a Vegetarian and he was an Old Marine, so we took him Home and experimented on methods to rewire his addled Brain to compensate for what had been damaged. The Grandkids and I were relentless about it and now he’s a walking Medical Miracle and his Doctors couldn’t explain it. He still has TBI mind you, but his Brain responded and seemed to rewire itself and he learned to do everything all over again… including things like breathing on his own, eating, swallowing, talking, walking… and basically everything from scratch. Manifesting what we most desire should be a lifelong pursuit and what we think upon most grows, so, Yes, I would highly suggest thinking upon the Positives and suppressing the Negatives so they have less Space in your Mind and your Life.
