"Acknowledging the good that you already have
in your life is the foundation for all abundance."
Eckhart Tolle
As I traveled down south, I noticed a brokenness to nature from tornadoes and irreparable destruction to homes from flooding. To gauge how costly repair would be to buildings was approximate, but looking at crops in fields totally destroyed and the still swollen waterways slowly receding could not have a dollar amount applied.
Perhaps I was humbled in comparison. My perception of challenges in my life began to shrink and gratitude for safety and great health began to swell. My thoughts turned to my children and grandchildren I would soon see and my heart overflowed.
Exposure to Amazon or Ebay encourage easy and impulsive buying habits. Purchasing stimulates the economy and if we pass our unused products on to shelters we in small ways move forward. The brilliant idea, however, is to take an inventory with fresh eyes and be appreciative of the abundance already surrounding us.
