Quite a storm is blowing through tonight. I heard the thunder and the lights blinked twice, turning off my DVD player each time. Then came the roar of pouring rain. I went out on the porch to watch. The whole sky lit up with the lightning and the rain was so heavy it was bouncing up off the ground. In some places it looked like blades of grass blowing in a stiff gale; in others the dark shiny road shimmered with movement and looked alive. The noise reminded me of the roar of Niagara from a distance. It was coming straight down so the porch was not getting wet. This dry, sandy soil will soak it up and by morning there will be no sign it rained at all. I am grateful for it though, because I meant to water the verbena plants Monica planted last week and I never got around to it. Now I don’t have to.
I’ve been thinking a lot about my transformation lately. I have a job I am looking forward to with only a little fear. I have my prius which I hope I can keep paying for. I am getting out more and accomplishing long-put-off tasks. Weight seems to be the hardest transformation although people keep telling me I look like I lost weight. Hmmmmmm. Haven’t noticed it myself. But then, I don’t weigh myself. I’ll have to try on those brown pants to check it out.
I watched “The Secret” recently and it jibed with a lot of things I already believe. I am going to work the law of attraction: ask for what you want, believe with unwavering faith, and receive. Be grateful for what you have and focus on what you want in your life rather than what you don’t want or have. Thoughts are energy and will draw like energy to you. Both conscious and unconscious thoughts. A good way to bring to awareness unconscious thoughts is to pay attention to your feelings.
I am losing weight (others already see it) and I am getting more fit; and writing. I am going to make a living with my writing. I will let the universe figure out the how of that. Meanwhile I am going to be the best damn teacher there ever was. Tomorrow I go see my classroom, get an idea of what I will need, and hopefully pick up some textbooks. Life is flowing as forcefully as Niagara Falls.

Linda, you write well and enjoy your blogs or whatever they are called.. Keep it up along with your transformation whatever the method is! Thanks for the family updates even if the news is a bit grim. I like the feel of big rains too but don’t much care when the lightning which often accompanies it causes damage. You would probably like the Kevorkian HBO show with Pacino playing Jack. I think it is called “You Don’t Know Jack” and may be out on DVD.
