Good Morning Everyone. Welcome to the TPC Blog. I hope today brings you great joy.

I have a confession to make. I did a coaching lesson with Paula from Art of Abundance (Which was amazing by the way. She helped me realize a few things I have to work on.)  and based on what I wanted to change in my life I was supposed to be abstaining from the casino for 30 days and so far I’ve gone twice. Yesterday was my second time. My husband says I’ll give you money just come. He makes it very difficult to refuse.

I am looking at it differently though now. It’s just a fun time like a movie or something. Entertainment only. I think before I wanted to win not just have fun. Something inside me has definitely shifted.

So yesterday was fun I was there having a good ole’ time. I spent all Bobby’s money he gave me but I’m even ok with that.

I did have a strange adventure at the casino yesterday however and as it is blog worthy I thought I’d share.

There was an empty seat at a slot machine and I sat down and put in a receipt for $6.50. Then this older man who looked like he might not see too well said oh no I was supposed to watch that machine for this man while he went for a smoke. That’s fine. I told the guy to relax as he felt like he was a bit nervous about my doing this and he didn’t protect the machine.

It happens all the time. When the person comes back they usually reimburse you for your money or they come and take out your receipt. No biggy.  I put up the chair so it wouldn’t happen to anyone else. I think there was $80 in there from the original guy who went for a smoke or whatever.

I kept a watch for him coming back and when he came back I said listen I put $6.50 in so you can give me $6.50 or we can call them to get out my receipt. In the meantime I had already spoken to one of the lovely people that pay you out about it.

Doesn’t this man say “too bad for you” (in a tone that made my skin crawl) “I had the chair up”. I knew in my heart and soul that this man was someone who always got his way especially around women and I was thinking “na not this time”.

I made my voice really low and said “firstly the chair was up because I put it up not you,  secondly its my $6.50 not yours and I’ve already told the people at the casino, and thirdly I now tithe you the $6.50 for the lesson but I’m telling security. Whoa you should have seen him go off. I ended it with another few choice words which we won’t mention here. I went and told the lady what happened and she got security. I left the three of them all figuring it out. He was getting a lecture from security about leaving the machine etc. If looks could kill. I just smiled and walked away.

What is wrong with people sometimes. Oh I know it was a lesson for me too of not being so Pollyanna and living life like everyone is really nice. (Although I did read somewhere on one of Esther Hicks sites that “Pollyanna lived a really nice life”.) When did grown people lie about $6.50?

When I found Bobby and told him he was horrified. What? You are having fights at the casino? Ha ha. It was so funny. He did come to my rescue and said let’s go find the guy and get your $6.50. Always my hero. Of course I didn’t involve Bobby as the issue was already over for me. Well except for getting excited about how funny its going to look in my blog.

After my experience with this creepy person there were lots of other people who made my casino visit a happy one. It’s fun sometimes. Like the older man I sat beside who had 135 free games and we would laugh silly every time he got a new one. This made up for one bad apple.

There always has to be balance I guess. Good with the Bad.

Quotes for You:

“Life is a succession of lessons which must be lived to be understood.” Helen Keller

When looking for quotes I found these two by J J Dewey which kind of touched me so I will share with you:

“Darkness is dispelled by shining a light on a problem, not by casting additional darkness on its path.” J J Dewey

“You can shine a light and dispel darkness, but you cannot shine “dark” and dispel light.” J J Dewey

Very wise.

I promise to stay out of trouble …. Until we meet again, Sharon
