making life more parking-spaces-like

it seems i can make a parking space in front of my house out of thin air now.

at 9pm at night, it is just about impossible for most people to get parked on our street if they aren't already parked. not me. we drove home yesterday, and the street was packed. i said "oh, i'd really love a spot in front of the house. universe?" then i closed my eyes. i saw the space. there was no space. i closed my eyes, and thought "i know it will come any second." and i knew it.

someone pulled away.

some person who i hadn't seen come out of a house pulled away from our street, leaving me the space!

if my whole life could be like parking spaces, it would be so awesome. what i need is to ask the universe for that gazillion dollars in the same frame of mind as the parking space. in fact, from now on, universe, whenever i get a parking place, i want a gazillion dollars there too. nice. thank you.

so i've asked.

now i have to (step 2, according to The Secret) believe. i do. i totally do. no, i don't believe a gazillion dollars is going to be in the parking space. i have to start believing there's going to be a gazillion dollars in the parking space.

then i can move on to step 3 - the receiving.

i half got something else i wanted today. i really wanted a response to a letter i sent. all the way home i believed i was going to get it. i so did. it so wasn't the response i wanted. but instead of focusing on that response, i'm going to send the letter to other agencies. one of *them* will give me the response i want. i know it. i want it, i believe - i truly believe it. so now i am just going to sit back and receive it. in my big ol' parking space.
