Yes, there were enough flurries to make this one hell of a snowy day!!<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly, Mr. Positive Affirmation knocked on the door of my head space. He was a welcome guest. He couldn&#8217;t have come at a better time! The following is what he told me to say over and over and over again, until a smile replaced my frown.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I am excited to see what the Lord has planned for me today!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just the very word &#8216;excited&#8217; raised my happiness level. And yes, today turned out to be a very wonderful day! A shop I frequented in town was closing down and selling everything at 50% off. I was able to get gifts, plus cards for some birthdays I have been invited to. Another miracle happened which I shall keep to myself, as the people involved would prefer it that way!<\/p>\n<p>Since it was Monday, I decided to head into McDonald&#8217;s to enjoy their &#8216;McMonday special&#8217;. Cappuccinos are only $1 that day &#8211; best value in town!! I think their cappuccinos are even nicer than Starbucks. I was thrilled to discover the girl who served it to me was somebody I knew from the homeless shelter. She used to come in and enjoy the Bingo. Suddenly, she stopped coming and I was very worried that she may have got into drugs, or worse. I really liked her, so imagine my delight to see her smiling face, happily working on the cash register. She had a look of pride on her face as she showed me her latest tattoo. It made my day!!<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, I found the PERFECT cap for my friend&#8217;s husband. He sadly lost his hair during radiation treatment. He loves the colour navy, and has Irish lineage, so I got him a fabulous navy cap from the Irish store downtown. It has a shamrock on it. I know he will LOVE it!!<\/p>\n<p>All I can say about today is <em><strong>GOD IS GOOD!!!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Positive Affirmations are the way to go! Choose one that speaks to you. You&#8217;ll find them on <strong><em>Pinterest<\/em><\/strong>, where I found my one for today.<\/p>\n<p>Hugs,<br \/>\nPatricia xxx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; It was snowing outside, dreary grey skies threatened to bring me down, my close friend&#8217;s husband is fighting for his life in hospital and going to miss her 60th birthday celebrations on Friday, and the dryer had&#8230; <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/?p=716\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-musings"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=716"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":740,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/716\/revisions\/740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
