Positive Is As Positive Does

I’m writing early tonight because…well, because I can. My ex decided to pick up the kids after all. He texted me yesterday, as per my request, to get Zach’s party information. That was my first hint. Today he texted me to find out what when they’d all be home from school. I told him 4:30 would be fine for him to get them. His response: “Ok, will do. Thank you.” Imagine that. He actually said ‘thank you’ to me. That doesn’t happen often but on the occasions where he realizes I’ve taken back the control he wanted he’s more than willing to submit to being a decent person. I’m happy.

I’m also happy because I’ve had a really good couple of days. Yes, I was pissed at my ex for his behavior but that ended when my blog that night was finished. And sure, the kids and I have had our ups and downs – Zach’s been in a mood since his dad still hasn’t scheduled personal one-on-one time with him – but we’ve gotten over the bumps. I haven’t even had to raise my voice, which is a really good thing. I haven’t raised my voice to them in a long while. Instead, I just speak in a really low tone and that gets their attention straight up; they know Mama’s angry and they do the right thing. YEA ME!

That’s not the only reason my days have been going well. I had given my résumé to my family advocate at Dolly’s school about two weeks ago, per her request, because her daughter works for a personal injury attorney. She thought they may need some extra help. Turns out, the company is planning on opening a new office and will be hiring. According to the family advocate, the attorneys will be looking at résumés next month. I’m hoping that means April and not May. Personal injury law is not what I really want but if it gets my foot in the door as a paralegal, I’m willing to go for it. Whatever it takes.

I’ve also been doing the Esther Hicks Law of Attraction 30-day workbook and am on day 26 today. Things have been going really well since I started it. I’ve done it twice before, a couple of years ago, and figured I needed another go-round. I may even do it a fourth time when I’m finished in a few days. Things have been looking so positive that I figure another kick in the ass of positive energy won’t hurt.

Another good thing is that a friend of mine, my spiritual mentor, is writing a book and I’m editing it for her. We’re doing it page by page and it will take a while, but I’m really excited about it. Not that I’m a professional editor or anything, but she’s got a learning disability so her writing skills are far from what they ought to be. I just go through and correct grammar, punctuation, and spelling. I even rearrange her text, re-write her text, or delete what doesn’t need to be there. Between the two of us, we’ll be able to come up with something that can be published. I think it’ll be a fun experience for both of us.

Everything is just falling into place for me these past couple of days. The other day on Facebook, I made a random post about the workbook and the virtual money I have to spend. Two of my friends responded with ideas of how I could spend the money. Funny thing is that I’d already spent the money on those exact things. Earlier that morning, while I was in the shower – it’s where I get my best ideas – I’d been thinking of my friend’s book (she had previously mentioned it to me) and how I would edit so as not to lose the essence of her words. Right after I had responded to my friends’ comments on Facebook about the virtual money, my book friend called me and wanted to discuss beginning the book project with me. WOW!! If that isn’t everything coming into alignment I don’t know what is.

When I mentioned it to one of the previously-mentioned Facebook friends, she replied to my email and freaked me out even more. She said that just the night before she’d been reading an article about self-publishing books on Kindle, and then her thoughts moved to me and the book friend. Then she said that she may want to write a book and would like me to edit it. Alright then; works for me. I love reading and writing so editing on the side is definitely something I can get into for some spare change.

Right now I’m sitting here talking to you folks just waiting for a show that I want to watch to start. I’ve got about a half hour and I’m pretty excited about it. It’s not a new show and I’m annoyed that I didn’t know it was on five years ago. It was only brought to my attention by another friend a couple of months ago. The show is “Supernatural” and I’ve started watching the repeats of old episodes in the mornings. It plays back-to-back at 10:00 and 11:00 and I’m hooked on it. I’m also trying to go all the way back to the beginning so I can catch up completely. It’s a really good show that I don’t get to watch when my kids are here because they’ve got control of the TVs. Tonight, though, I get to watch a new, recent episode at its regular time.

So everything for me is going really well. I supposed it is for my friends, too, and I’m happy about that. Ellen is supposed to have surgery next week for problems with her foot. I’m really excited for her because she’s been in a lot of pain for a long time and she deserves to feel better. Sending positive energy her way. Tracy and her husband just bought a house and are going to be moving in a few weeks, plus Tracy is starting on a new business venture as well as rekindling a friendship. Positive thoughts go her way too. I’ve already mentioned that another friend is writing a book, and another might. All positive things.

It seems that everywhere I look these days there is just lots of positive energy flowing around me and all those who are close to me. I couldn’t be happier and, as long as I can keep my positive energy flowing, my kids are in alignment and we all have good days. I couldn’t ask for more. I’m just going to keep things going the way they are and see what happens. I can’t wait to see what wonderful, exciting things the Universe has in store for us, and I’m sure they’ll unfold when they’re supposed to, just as they’re meant to be. What a wonderful place I’m in; and I intend to stay here.

Until next time…peace to all.
