Ah-h-h, experiences that give me heart!

Thank you both, Invincible and Babsbiltmore!

Reading a commercial site, an hour ago, I noticed a remark that women tend to 'hold things in', in the same context as the statistic that 40% to 60% of us will have our uteruses removed.

I've been working on the liver/gallbladder, with interesting feelings coming back. But, they aren't as strong as they were when they were buried. Hah!

Reading your stories, I'm wondering why I don't just step lightly over any 'hitches'. Think I will. (Grin!)

...Especially since I'm feeling so chipper anyway.

Dh shopped at our local organic veggies store, today...it's only open on Saturday mornings.

I promptly ate some of everything. (Can you believe he got fresh okra?! The regular stores told him it was out of season!)

After lunch I forgot to have my cigarette for about a half hour!!! Me! Of all people!

And, I found this article in the Law of Attraction forum... //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=734509

We've been doing something similar in this rented 1969 house, by shopping at garage sales. Would you believe three outside screen doors...all odd sizes, and different from each other...for under thirty dollars, total?!

Then there are our 'collections'.

I have a roomful of leftover yarns...all sorted into rainbow and nicely packaged.

I buy it for, say, $10, or less, per armful, and it's a resource for scrumblers...at say, 25 cents per ounce.

You know anyone who knits/crochets? No one can make a mistake!

Then there are my miniatures; beautiful stuffed animals; brightly colored dishes; and more.

I just kept finding stuff I liked, at prices I couldn't refuse. And I like sorting other people's exceptional leftovers.

Once we started looking, things just showed up.

I'd gladly sell most everything we've got...we'll always find more. I guess it's hard to convey the serendipity in what we've done. We just kind of 'float' on this cushion of goodwill.

And I found five 'twoonies' ($2 coins) in one hole, when we were metal-detecting on the beach.

My husband got Google Earth - a photographic map of the world. http://www.googleearth.com

When we zoom in on our own house, we can see the screened tent we have on our sundeck...and the streetlamp out front.

So...we could try dowsing. I wonder...
