And even though he had never seen or heard of this book he picked up, it was exactly what we needed &#8212; and it only took a few minutes to find it.<\/p>\n<p>Then he wanted a research book that was newer and went deeper than the one he had already picked up, on a topic we&#8217;re going to write about&#8230; and moments after putting the first one back on the shelf, he found it.<\/p>\n<p>But his manifesting abilities were not perfect&#8230; we had a bet over the color of a new cat bed we picked up, and whether it was the same color as the one we had.  He said yes, and if he was right, I would have had to do five nights of both cooking and cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>I said no &#8212; the old one was slightly greener than the new one &#8212; and if I was right, he would have to give me five nights of massages.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Well, turns out I manifested that one&#8230; so massage week, here we come!<\/p>\n<p>Then we went to the mall, and found a photo booth&#8230; which we&#8217;ve actually been looking for for quite awhile.  We tried several in Las Vegas a few weeks back, but they just kept taking our money and not giving us any pictures back (typical Las Vegas!) \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>So this time we did it, and the results are here!<\/p>\n<p>It was fun, because it&#8217;s something I haven&#8217;t done since high school&#8230; or maybe even earlier.  But sometimes you need to relive your childhood.  In fact, there are a lot of things children do better than many of us.  Like visualization, questioning, and &#8220;acting as if&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>And&#8230; learning lessons, too.  Here are the lessons I learned from the day:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Expect miracles, and often you&#8217;ll get them.<\/p>\n<p>Open your mind, and the right solution will present itself.<\/p>\n<p>Stick to your guns, follow your intuition, and you&#8217;ll always win&#8230; even if you have to lose first.<\/p>\n<p>Remember to have fun, and even be a little silly, no matter what you do.<\/p>\n<p>Uncover your inner child, and they will help you have that fun.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All in all, it was a fabulous day&#8230; and like the trim on our photo booth shots, it was a great reminder of the start of the holiday season (and I got almost all my Christmas shopping done, too!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep Unwrapping the Mysteries &#8212; and Fun &#8212; of Life!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/heathervale.com\/images\/heather_sig.jpg\" title=\"Heather Vale\" alt=\"Heather Vale\" height=\"31\" width=\"185\" \/> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Barry and I went to Ashland for a craft fair, did some Christmas shopping, then headed up to Medford.
