After picking up Piper yesterday from school, we decided that we would go to Kmart, not a lot of choices up here, and it's the closest to the house, to see what we could find that would be suitable to hang keys on next to the front door... I think Lowe's would have been a better bet for that.
As we begin to look through the hardware section that they have, I find what we were looking for and begin to wonder aimlessly through the store a little bit. I have had a hard time trying to keep Piper with me and stay with me if we don't have a cart, so I leave her in the charge of Tomy. They start to go look at toys and that was fun for both of them :)
Pretty soon, Piper says that she has to use the bathroom. Tom had told her that if they left the toy department, they wouldn't be going back.. a bit mean, but, no worries really. So, she waits as long as she can and grabs me and says she must go to the restroom right now. We walk over there, and by now, she's a big enough girl that she can go into the restroom and do her business and wash her hands by herself.. such a big girl! So, we wait, and wait, and wait! After what seems like a million years, I go in to check on her, and she's just drying her hands. Cool. Next, it's over to the shoes, since they are on sale this week. I find a great little pair of sneakers that she tries on and actually likes! I tell Tom that he needs to look at shoes as well to see if there are any there that suit his needs. He tells me that there is nothing that he can find that will work for him, and what about me... what about me? I know that I don't need shoes, and that if I did get some, they would be boots or heels and I really have no place to wear them, as of yet! So Tom asks me if I really need this really nice pair of heeled boots, they were beautiful... would've gone great with a nice gray skirt and button down the front shirt... We ended getting another pair of shoes for Piper instead.
Yet, as I was wondering through the store, I thought of how I felt about the whole shopping event at that moment. It was as if shopping with sister.. a thing I absolutely hate doing. Not because of the company, but because I hate going to a store and realizing that I don't have the money to procure anything that I really want.
And then it hit me! That whole idea and mentality is exactly what I am trying to stop doing. So in that moment, I decided that I will no longer think that I can't have something because I don't have the money for it. I will think like the independently wealthy think.. I have the means to purchase everything that I need, but more importantly, everything that I want!!
I have done a vision board recently, my favorite part of it is the money tree on it. I little money tree with a one dollar bill that has several zero's behind it. On the border around it, I have written Money flows easily and frequently to me. On my next one, the one that I want for my career, I am going to have the same idea, except I will include that I can buy anything that I want, for any reason, without guilt! And I will!!! Maybe not this week, or next, but, soon... very soon indeed!
