(First off, my apologies. This post has been floating around in my brain forever, but I literally haven’t had time to sit and write it. Things are a bit – crazy around here.)
I try and live my life with the sense that this is a world of abundance. There is abundance all around us and I’ve never understood those who live as though we’re ALWAYS in a period of scarcity.
I can think of a billion things my life is overflowing with right now. People to love. Jobs to work on. Peach flavored sour rings. Paperwork. Abby artwork. Creative energy. Leftover chicken.
And of course, there is a scarcity of some stuff. Time, always. Money on the last day of the month.
But on the whole, I’ve got more than enough. Life is abundant and I am just truly, richly blessed.
Hear hear! I have a gratitude practice that I do every night, a stream of consciousness list of everything I can be grateful for. Like air conditioning, for instance. Life seems a whole lot happier when I’m saying “thank you.”
