It was as I expected an amazing post!!<br />I think the positive thinking is a good thing...to have someone say you create your bad luck when you get it wrong..or that you have not been given the same things as someone else is I agree is wrong. Not one of us can know what someone else's path or lessons to learn are. I think it is a really good thing to put it out there - what you want with intention...I do not think the answer is always so simple. Wonderful thought provoking post hon!<br />Love you, SarahSarah Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03835112406617937224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621147415267298912.post-39527716586783655012009-09-01T19:48:15.472-07:002009-09-01T19:48:15.472-07:00Dear Holly,Snap,Claire, HybridJ, Renee --Thanks so...Dear Holly,Snap,Claire, HybridJ, Renee --Thanks so much for the good thoughts and your musings on luck. I agree about Oprah. I'm glad I'm not alone in wondering "Is it me? Or is she a little arrogant about her success?"<br /><br />Bonnie--love the magical thinking (infanitle) take. You're right, of course. If you believe it about part, you must believe it about all. But I think her agenda is torqued toward guru-ism. And let's face it, she has a loyal following. But many of my friends have taken her off tivo. I'm still in search of my own take on all this, but in the end, life happens. It's what we do with what happens that matters, I guess.<br /><br />Renee--I love your passion. And,:p(2006? Thanks for clarifying. You are in my thoughts. And your family.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14602177425483410112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621147415267298912.post-73837667223251101162009-09-01T18:39:30.512-07:002009-09-01T18:39:30.512-07:00Sorry to learn about this bad news and hope you fe...Sorry to learn about this bad news and hope you feel better after the rant. ;)<br /><br />As of gook luck / bad luck, I'm still not sure if it exists or not. Maybe a way to look at it is about "probability". Like how often you'll walk on a street and suddenly a big window fall right in front of you. If you're just 5 steps ahead, the window would hit you. This happened to my friend about a year ago! Was she lucky? We sure think so.<br /><br />Re: Oprah - I used to follow and enjoy everything she said. But after a couple of years, something changed. I found it harder and harder to relate to her. She had become just one of those "guru". I stopped listening but she still has my utmost respect as a humanist.Hybrid Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09495322758574425713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621147415267298912.post-29609664453248386422009-09-01T16:26:50.505-07:002009-09-01T16:26:50.505-07:00Hi Barbara:

That must feel awful!<br /><br />Glad, on the other hand, that you will have the wonderful distraction of the people you love in your arms. Better to lose money that can be replaced than them.<br /><br />I'm like you and Renee, I get royally tired of people like Oprah just saying she knew what she wanted and attracted it to her and why can't everyone else do the same. That is a form of magical (infantile) thinking. (I have actually been preparing a post on this subject!) Did she follow her theory and say then that she attracted the child molester/monitor at her school in Africa? That kind of thinking comes from our grandiose, narcissistic self.<br /><br />You didn't think, or not think the right thoughts that caused your "bad luck". Circumstance, timing, other people's intentions and actions all factor in to what happens to anyone.<br /><br />It is magical (infantile) thinking to claim you can create the world you want with your thoughts.<br /><br />Sorry . . . you got me going.<br /><br />Have a great visit with your daughter and grandson!Bonnie Zieman, M.Ed.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00282469017360136275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3621147415267298912.post-69591546698839051332009-09-01T14:03:54.777-07:002009-09-01T14:03:54.777-07:00Sorry Barb I was so entranced with your post I for...Sorry Barb I was so entranced with your post I forgot to mention that the scan and good results were from 2006.

Instead it will be just what she asked for.<br /><br />Congratulations on your grandson and sorry to hear about the money.

And, it took me by quite a surprise which is what you were intending because you are an excellent writer.<br /><br />I wish I had words that would make you feel better. But, I don't. Just let me say, I'm so very glad that the money will come back to you. And, more so, I'm glad your daughter and grand baby are on their way to love on you.<br /><br />Blessings for Abundance...deserved.
