The Great Pumpkin Spirit!

My store did a contest for Halloween once.
Something fun to get people hyped up for the up coming holidays and because we were entering our slow part of the year where hours would be cut back. It was a pumpkin carving contest and the winner would get a gift card to any store that was available in the gift card section of our store.
I wanted a $50 gift certificate to any store of my choosing for winning a pumpkin carving contest. I wanted it, but more importantly, I knew I would win it.
I didn’t allow doubt to enter my mind, even when on that fateful day when it was time to turn in our pumpkins and I had waited until the very last minute to carve mine. I was literally still carving 45 minutes prior to putting it on display for all to see. There was a buffet and party food so I sat and ate enjoying myself and others. I forgot about the contest for a while. Then after a few hours had passed I went to go and see if the judging had begun and it was over!
All the winners were chosen and there on my pumpkin was a blue ribbon. I even questioned it because I had sometimes seen contests where they used blue for runner up and gold for the winner. But there was no mistake! Since then I haven’t really manifested anything as sure as that.
But there was no mistaking the feeling I had when I was looking at the gift cards thinking about which one I would choose once I had won. It was like the event was solidified in my mind and my heart. Once I had chosen the card, every time I looked at it I just smiled.
