Do you know what year this photo was taken?
I attended an event at my favorite movie theatre this morning and was the first to answer that question. The cool thing is the prize was something I actually wanted...that my husband and I were just talking about the night before.
It wasn't huge or mindblowing. But when I won it, I was immediately grateful for how the Law of Attraction works. Two nights before, I tried on a new pair of Patagonia capri pants that were a bit snug and not quite the right color. My husband wondered why I didn't get some long shorts like the ones I had for years that no longer fit me.
"Really? You mean the ones from Target?" I asked, recalling the inexpesive but fun shorts I picked up several years before. I knew he liked them, but I thought it was because they were a bargain. Patagonia is one of my favorite brands but those Target shorts were cute and long wearing.
"Okay," I said. "I'll return these capri pants and check out Target over the weekend." A thought crossed my mind that it would be handy to have a Target gift card but I was sure I'd find something affordable.
When I called out "1969!" at the event today, I didn't care I was winning a $25 Target gift card. It didn't register that there was a prize in the offering...I was just happy to see the cover of one of my favorite albums up on the screen.
And when I was given the card, I immediately sent out grateful energy. It pays to keep joyful, it pays to hold happy expectations, it pays to be a Beatles fan.
