 ..... one round table and chairs, all set up on Grace's patio, ready for entertaining guests, and enjoying the day.  
 
As I just mentioned on the weekday thread.... I took the small round table, a rocking/swivel dining chair, and an outdoor carpet off of Robin's front porch this morning.  
 
And  as I was driving out of the Bar X ranch subdivision,  I noticed I was feeling extra "light".... like some kind of load had been lifted off my shoulders...
 
And the conclusion I came up with for why I felt that way was because when I got those things I had  "taken for myself".... instead of "giving away myself"  like I always tended to do....     And it  felt GREAT!
 
I "decided" to "take".    I've never been a taker .....  
 
I was so  consumed by the need to give.   But now..... that "limiting belief" has been torn down, and I finally got a hold of the power and freedom of seeing something you want, deciding to get it for yourself... and just taking it... just because it's there and  you can.     I'm not  talking about stealing.......   but taking what life has to offer you... just by being willing to reach out and grab it and claim it for yourself. 
 
My "mindset" has been forever changed and turned around.   I've been set free of the old limiting restricting inner wall I had created that would not let me reach out and grab from life what I wanted for myself.  
 
I feel so free inside....  just by that one simple act.    Yes, I had already taken lots of things from the house.. things that were  'mine' in one way or another by vurtue of the fact that if I had not put the time and energy into getting them we would not have had them.    
 
But  this time.... something about it was different.   It was  saying no to my old habit of  "doing without".   It was an act of "putting myself first".     It was in itself an act of power, of strength, and gumption to go after what I wanted... and to get it!   And not feel bad.  Not feel the need to ask first.  And to not care one iota what someone else thinks about it.   I saw, I took, I conquered. 
 
And it feels great!!!  
 
No wonder men never wanted us women to learn about how great it feels to feel "self power"...   
 
If it feels this good to me just taking some old things off a front porch.. imagine how good it feels to them to take businesses, governments, and other countries.. wow, what a high they have been feeling all these centuries.   No wonder they kept us quiet and powerless ! 
 
I feel so liberated inside, it's amazing.   I have been forever changed .. I've broken through my "wall".    Now I KNOW I can do anything I want with my life... and I know I can have anything I want that I'm willing to put out the effort to get it.  
 
And it 's all just from one small, simple little act.  
 
I can't wait to see what it feels like when I go after, get, and accomplish bigger things.
