[size=150]This will probably seem trivial to other people, but it's sort of a big deal to me. Yesterday I was in a craft shop buying something else, and I walked past the area where the fabric quarters are kept to see if a design I particularly wanted to get some more of was in stock because they were going to go on sale the next day (today). It is a design they almost never have, and when they do, they barely have any.  They had four of them sitting there right at the front of the display where you couldn't fail to see them, and I claimed them for myself and said to myself that they would be there waiting for me when I went back to buy them during the sale. Last time I said that, when I'd seen a few in stock when they weren't having a sale but I knew a sale was coming up in a week or two's time, I said the same thing, but that time it didn't work. I felt like the universe was laughing at me, saying that's what you think.
This time I went back today to buy the four I'd seen yesterday, and those four were missing from where I'd seen them. There was an empty space there where they'd been. I found six others hiding in the back of another part of the display, but I kept saying I want some more, I want those ones I saw and claimed yesterday.  I kept saying to myself that I want some more, and I couldn't believe it when a lady came up to me a few minutes later and said that she'd seen some of that design in my shopping trolley, said she'd decided against buying them, was holding those four in her hand and offered them to me, so I ended up with ten this time, which is a good amount of this design to find in stock at the same time. This experience has given me some much needed faith in the process of attempted manifestation.[/size]
