~We caught the bug~

Carson and I were sick these last 2 days and I’m so glad it has finally passed. Nothing like the stomach flu to bring you down….*eye roll*

It’s been a few months since I watched daytime TV and I have to say I wish we had a PVR…LOL. I watched Oprah .

Here is an a piece taken from the show ...Oprah on February 8th, 2007 you can see more of it here:“the Secret”

"The law of attraction means that everything that happens to you—good or bad—you attract to yourself. Lisa describes it as if you're placing an order. "If you were at a restaurant and you ordered something, you fully expect it to come served that way. That's how the universe is. You're putting out orders—consciously and unconsciously," Lisa says. "So if you say, 'I'll never have a great relationship,' you just placed an order."Jack says everything you focus on can have an effect on your life—from books to magazines to thoughts. "All of that affects how we feel, and the feelings actually send out a wave into the universe, and anything that's vibrating in a similar level gets attracted into our life," Jack says."Most people focus on how it is. We talk about our current reality—'I'm in debt. I'm overweight. I'm not happy. I'm sad. The world's not working. We're at war,' whatever. And the more you think about that and focus on that and talk about it, the more you attract that [negativity]," he says."......

"Gratitude is one example of the magnetic force of the universe. "Basically, nothing new can come into your life unless you open yourself up to being grateful [for what you already have]," Michael says."If you think about it, the universe has a conveyor belt of presents lined up for you, and until you receive the one and fully are grateful for it, the next one can't come out of the chute. It's all lined up," Jack says.Lisa says this perspective applies to weight, family, friends and other aspects of life. She says too many people who want to make things better focus on what's wrong with the present. "Instead of wanting to change it, appreciate what's there," Lisa says. "Find the things about it that work … and by doing that, you create a space for it to get better."....

and I also really liked Rachel Ray’s new show. So that was the extent of my TV watching on Thursday.

On the scrapbooking front ----->
I got an email yesterday from Cards Magazine my goodies are being shipped to me; I hope my book is in there too. This was for a card being published in an Idea book coming out this month.

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

I wish I had watched that Oprah show... I read all about it - stuff like that really interests me. My Mom watched it and said it was really good. I found on "The secret" website where you can watch the movie for $4.95! Might do it!

It sorta goes along with my favourite poem... "Attitudes" .. that "life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it!"
