Getting through the 'tough' times.

Getting through the tough times, for a lot of us, means

we're taking money out of the piggy bank,

rather than putting it in.

I robbed my piggy bank quite a while ago and

if I 'tighten the belt' any tighter, I'm literally going

to cut myself 'in two'.

I was 'talking' to someone online earlier, who asked

if my business had been affected by the economy.

Her business was down more than 60% from this same

month one year ago.

Wow, is that all?

You know, I am one who does believe in the 'laws of attraction'...

and I believed this long before I'd heard

about 'The Secret'..

certainly those people I knew who were

always smiling and happy about everything,

seemed to 'have all the luck'.

I worked with someone a few years ago (and I'm not

kidding about this) who literally won pretty much

every drawing our company had,

for several years running.

She won trips, a large screen T.V.,

money, airline tickets, and more

than I can even remember.

Now, I would win drawings, occasionally..

you know...movie passes,

dinner at the Outback,

company T-shirts and once I even won

a DVD/VCR --I'm still using it,

though the DVD player quit working

years ago.
