rainbowmoon, I'm so sorry about your DH. Life isn't fair. However, it's wonderful that they took up that collection.
It's good to see so many people joining in! Left to my own devices, I'll forget to keep with this. As I said, I need a support group! :LOL
niblet, I don't share your problem, because I didn't really expect this to work! I had tried only a couple of affirmations before, one of which seemed to have no effect. I had never considered that my attitude toward money, could actually affect how much money I had. I mean, NOW i do, but it just never even crossed my mind.
I don't expect to change myself quickly, but a small change in the way I think, to be able to control more of my life (I LOVE control!!!
:LOL ), to be able to see the change happening, is mnd-blowing for me.
I think part of it is that for me it's tangible. I'm concentrating on my attitudes toward money. Not because I'm greedy, but because I thought it possible that MY attitudes were adversely affecting the lives of my family. College looms, a wedding...maybe two. My dh is soon to be 55, and soon to be unable to do his job. He's simply not going to be physically capable of carrrying and climbing, etc, forever. We are tired of poverty! And suddenly, I have some money saved. More than I have ever saved before. In less than a month.
Each night when I go to bed, I leave my dh a note for the morning. This morning I said, "How about today, I hope it rains so hard you get sent home early with pay, and with your check. People love to give us money" He always has to go chase his check, never gets out early on a fFriday or due to rain.
So, he called at 2;00 to say he was out, with pay, and on his way to cash his check, cause it rained enough that they got really wet! Oh, and his check for $20 dollars more, though he couldn't see why.
and 
I'm being very, very careful about what I put in my notes from now on!
heldt123, thanks for the great reading recommendation. I need lots of reading onthis subject. I like the bull visualization a lot.
Let's keep this going. Try writing down what you want. But be careful!

CrazyRed, I know what you mean! I hate it when 'old' stuff comes up and needs dealing with. So troublesome. I used to really sort of concentrate on all of it, immerse myself in it. NOw I try to give it a few hours, and move on. Feels SO much better once you get thngs dealt with though, huh?
THis thread provides me with a daily reminder that I'm doing them.

: We've never made that much in a whole year. My hubby's going to be getting some overtime too!
