This notice appeared recently in the classified section of a large city’s newspaper.

FOR SALE: Very beautiful, brand new wedding dress, never been worn.

There is most certainly a story behind the notice. But is it a story of relief as she canceled the wedding because she was about to marry the wrong person? Or is it a story of heart break because she was abandoned on the way to the altar?

I prefer to believe it was a story of relief; that her “Mr. Wonderful” will arrive soon, a new even more “very beautiful” dress will replace the one being sold, and the world will right itself again.

I belief that wishes do come true. and I also believe in the power of positive thought. If all of you will join me and think positive thoughts, we can make this possible.

Come on, think positive! Let’s make this story have a Cinderella ending.
