In the transactions list, right click the transaction and choose "Copy Raw Transaction". Then paste what was copied into a post here. That is the raw hex of the transaction itself and posting it will allow people here to rebroadcast the transaction for you so that the network actually sees it. The problem is likely due to poor propagation of the transaction as I am unable to find it both on block explorers and on my own node.

Ok, I have pushed your transaction, and I see why it is delayed and has poor propagation.

Your transaction spends from two unconfirmed transactions: https://blockchain.info/tx/a9d008e6a80806670f8c3d0f3404e87ff19f81e71ef9601fc7c4fd6ccf28f48b and https://blockchain.info/tx/81890605cf42773aefa766964862973ded4d8746f2a7d2656412c064c7d68d37. Your transaction cannot confirm until these two transactions confirm as well. However, both of these transactions only pay a transaction fee of 10 sat/byte, which is way less than the 270 sat/byte fee rate recommended by https://bitcoinfees.21.co/. Since the fee rate of those two transactions is so low, most nodes have removed them from their mempools, and because of that, they cannot accept your transaction since they don't have these two unconfirmed transactions.

Read https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1802212.0 for what you can do about these three unconfirmed transactions. Note that doing anything to just your high fee unconfirmed transaction is not going to help, you need to get the other two low fee unconfirmed transactions to confirm too, otherwise yours will not be able to confirm.

Thank you for your help, it seems like I have to "restart Bitcoin Core with the -walletbroadcast=0 option and then you should be able to use "Abandon Transaction". in order to abandon those old transactions.  But I have no idea how to restart with -walletbroadcast=0   

that being said, all 3 transactions now have 2 confirmations so I guess they are going to go through. If you could still answer my questions for future reference I would appreciate it. Thanks again!

The easiest way for me is to run Bitcoin Core with -zapwallettxes. It will abandon all unconfirmed transactions that the client has sent and you can script another transaction.

To do this, you have to run Bitcoin Core with the flag -zapwallettxes. You can do this via your command prompt. Assuming you didn't change the installation directory, these are the sample commands. Choose the one accordingly.
Code:
C:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe -zapwallettxes

Note that you should wait for a day or two and ensure that majority of the network has forgotten about your transaction. Else, your newly constructed transaction will not propagate well.
