As I mentioned a couple of days ago...I am 'practicing' positive thinking.
Over the last few months I have been taking on board a lot of stuff about how what you think about becomes real.
Something today went a little way towards that fact in my eyes.
Here's what happened...
Our washing machine 'dial' has broken off...and Lesley has to hold it back on every time she needs to turn to whatever program she needs to wash on.
The machine works fine apart from this very simple (but very annoying) task that needs doing every time.
So...usually this dial just lays around somewhere near the machine.
Over Christmas and the New Year washing clothes obviously takes a back seat...so it wasn't until this morning that Lesley wanted catch up.
The dial was missing! It was nowhere to be found...Lesley searched 'high and low' for it (even our dustbins) - and the doubts began to set in.
Perhaps it had been thrown away during a busy Christmas? Perhaps we'd better look at buying a new machine?
So...I did what any man would do...I went out to buy my newspaper! lol
But...on the way there and on the way back I said quietly to myself...
"Thank you for showing me where the washing machine dial is."
I returned and it still wasn't found. So...I thought that I might as well make a cup of tea in the meantime!
Well...whilst I was in the kitchen...I thought to look in a cupboard for myself...knowing full well that Lesley had already done so.
On the top shelf of one was a little plastic box without a lid where Katie's hair clips and bands are piled up. Without looking...I put my hand in and rummaged around a bit...and found the washing machine dial! And...within less than 30 seconds of walking through the front door!
How it got in there is a mystery...but how I found it isn't a mystery to ME.
You may think that it was just lucky...but I KNOW otherwise!
