My "Secret"

http://thesecret.tv/thesecretbook/

I don't need to buy this book.  The general idea (and I am overly generalizing) is if you think positively; positive things happen.  This isn't rocket science, but I do think some people are just programmed naturally this way and others have to work at it. 

My buddy Janna Fisler was recently diagnosed with AML (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_myeloid_leukemia.  That totally sucks.  But I have to tell you it didn't occur to me that she wouldn't lick it.  To see her progress go to "Lickin' Leukemia" on Facebook.  She's doing great and the prognosis is good.  What an inspiration!

One of my sisters recently accidentally left her laptop on the Greyhound bus from New York City to Atlantic City.  She was obviously freaked out as so much of her life was on the laptop.  I knew she'd get it back.  Turns out the cleaning company had left a message about it with 24 hours of finding it and returned it to her.  Luck or positive thinking?  It never occurred  to me that the finder wouldn't return it and I told her so.

I've been AOL for awhile with kids stuff, vacation etc.  My mother in law is here for a 5 week visit.  14 members of our family went to Avalon, New Jersey (the shore) for a week in one house.  Now, this is when the secret really comes in handy.   A group family house requires a lot of patience, flexibility and alcohol.  Luckily growing up in the group house environment has trained us all well and we didn't have any mishaps.  We enjoy it and the kids love it.

Ahhh, the power of positive thinking; join me!  I swear it works.  I'm thinking it's not going to be as hot today...
