Old affirmations that I'd completely forgotten about have come true!

I read the archives (36 posts April-July 2022). Affirmations that I'd completely forgotten about have come true:
Wearing my "expensive" watch (it cost me US$9!)
Shaking hands with my brother and sitting at the front of the bus/"luxury limousine" (visualizing the end of the pandemic)
Bathing under my perfectly adjusted temperature shower (new hot water system, cold showers)
My new pillow
Enjoying grocery shopping with Dad (I used to be grumpy)
Getting my eye glasses fixed
Fast computer
Writing "thank you very much indeed!" (in Mum's birthday card)
Daily recollection of merits (computer journal)
Continuing to live at home with my parents
Inhaling happiness (instead of Tibetan tonglen breathing in suffering!)
"I'm enjoying tidying my desk. I'm enjoying looking at my spotless desk"
Millions of dollars of real estate beside the path to the supermarket (booming market)
Dana (giving) reducing my fear of death (and fear of not controlling enough money)
Playing 1980's pop music
The world is a much better place that is portrayed on social media.
I create wealth by running shopping errands. I create wealth by washing the dishes.

Infinite Good Humor

"How do you keep patience going? How do you keep persistence going? By having a good sense of humor about what’s happening to you in the path and having an infinite good humor that can keep you going. This is the attitude that allows you to say, “Whoops, another mistake! – Well, try again! Another mistake? Try again!” It’s that ability to step back from yourself a bit to see what you’re doing and not to be so in to a particular state of mind or in to a particular identity that you can’t let it go." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "Infinite Good Humor"

It all comes springing out of right here! Intention, attention & perception!

"The Buddha’s teachings on time are interesting in that even though they do talk about time, they don’t talk about a beginning point in time. The beginning point for your experience is right here in the present moment. It all comes springing out of right here; so instead of trying trace things back to first causes someplace way back in the past, the Buddha has you look for first causes right here and right now. Dig down deep inside into the area of the mind where intention and attention and perception play against each other, for that’s the point from which all things are born." ~ Thanissaro Bhikkhu "The Sublime Attitudes"
