I have often pondered the idea of living a different life, daydreamed the concept of being financially affluent, having the house & garden of my dreams, not that I am unhappy with my life as it is but I would, like most people I imagine be happier if we were financially secure, not that I know of anyone who would fall into that category, most are struggling with the day to day running of house and home and most tick on by like the sands falling through the hour glass that becomes our lifetimes.
I was in the process of one such day dream last night and was sketching out my ideal kitchen, well half of it, and it looked a bit wonky - such are my abilities and skills in the technical drawing department. the idea was a good one though and in certain walks of life some would say I was visualising my dream, releasing the idea into the universe so it could manifest itself within my life. Something I've been trying and failing for bloody years with pictures of George Clooney, anyway looking at it from a broader perspective and from a spiritual angle my life is good on most days, I would say by and large I am a happy and contented person, but there are days when I feel as if someone has lifted a veil somehow and the idea of something more could be a good thing too. I was just thinking about the affluent ones out there, they tend to be the ones who throw that quote around "life is what you make it"... and 99 times out of a hundred I am happy for them but every now and again you get one who likes to brag about how well off they are and part of you is thinking that they have no idea how reality is for most of this planets population. what is it they say oh yeah... ignorance and something about it being bliss.
I still like the idea of positive affirmations and the concept of releasing an idea of a better life, house etc into the universe, after all the first steps to manifesting anything is the ability to dream it and if we can dream it we can achieve it... have it... live it

Ha Debs, we get everywhere, don't we? I know what you mean here. We lived the life of grinding poverty for a long time, until I got the chance to buy the shop (very long & involved story) 15 or so years ago. We're not well off by any means, but at last we don't actually panic and feel like weeping when the bills come in. But what life gives us seems never quite enough. I think it's a very fundamental part of being human to be never quite satisfied with what we've got. Miserable buggers, aren't we? Or is it just me?
