Abundance Awareness

 Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into.  Wayne Dyer

I have a side table which I love. It’s superfluous; I don’t really have room for it, and it serves no function beyond being a plant stand, but it brings me joy every time I look at it. It’s a collectable, hand-painted, whimsical, colorful table I purchased at a moving sale. It’s one of my treasures.

My little table is an obvious manifestation of abundance in my life, but there are countless, unnoticed confirmations of plenty which fill my life, there whether I see them or not. When I tune into them, I am filled with gratitude for their presence in my life, making each day a treasure hunt.

What am I grateful for today? That is the question I take into meditation. Very often, my mind is filled  well before my timer gong sounds. I break away to hurriedly type this blog as the thoughts take form. What comes into my awareness is what had not been seen prior to taking the time to ask my Creator to wake me up to the plethora of goodness in this day.

Today I have choices; I am grateful. I have good food to nourish my body; I am grateful. I have a cuddle-buddy in my cat Taco; I am grateful. I have access to information in seconds and numerous ways to entertain my mind; I am grateful. I have a solid roof over my head, and reliable transport; I am grateful.

And I have a perfectly useless, thoroughly loved little side table; I am so very grateful.
