I had coffee with a friend on Saturday. We talked about those paid on-line surveys. I have been doing them for a few companies for years and think they are fun and it generates a bit of pocket money. My friend needs any extra money she can get so I told her I would send her the info on the ones I did because I knew they were legitamate companies.

Sunday I had a sudden need to go to the mall. I am not a shopper and I really wasn't in the mood for buying anything but I went (it's only 2 minutes from me). I had just started walking down the mall when a woman stopped me an asked if I would be willing to participate in a survey and they would pay me. It would take less than 10 minutes so I said yes and told myself "This must be why I came". I went to their office, took the survey and got paid $3 (not much but was $3 more than I walked in with). I did see a sign about them looking for people to participate but didn't mention it. They have my name and number and I figure they'll get in touch with me if they want me.

Then I went to Macy's and discovered they were having a fabulous clearance sale. Got two shirts for $5.99 each and a pair of sweats for just under $5. I had wanted an extra pair of sweats and was thinking the other day that I could use a couple of new tops because I am currently in between sizes when it comes to decent clothes that I already own.

Inspired action spruced up my wardrobe and paid for part of it. Not bad.

Writermom:

A saying came back to me as I read your post.

"Be careful what you ask for, you might get it"

I think your story illustrates that which we think and talk about will manifest itself.

I do think we all should take inventory about what we think about and then compare to what we have in our live, at this point we shouldn't be surprised at what we are getting.

Great story, this inspired me to post since I haven't in quite some time.
