Friday, November 17, 2006abundance and gratitudeThanksgiving could not come at a better time. Really. As the leaves are turning, the air becomes crisp and cool, the days shorter and darker. We are reminded of life's brevity - our short time to play upon the earth. What more perfect time to pause and give thanks - express gratitude - for all our richness of life in all the forms that abundance takes for us.It is easy not to notice all the abundance that surrounds us. Easier so to miss the abundance if we are mired in stress and anxiety, when our focus becomes what we don't have or don't want. And Thanksgiving does little to ease that stress! All the plan-making, preparation, and pleasing that must be done. Not to mention the travel and cleaning up and immediacy of the holidays to come! How do you care for yourself during this time of holiday madness? What do you do that is just for you and that eases your stress and burdens? How do you keep in touch with your sense of peace and centeredness? How do you find time and space for gratitude? For me, abundance appears in so many forms - the sunrise, a cup of tea, the sand pushing up between my toes, having mostly working knees, being able to create works of art that leave me awed. Abundance comes in expected and unexpected gifts and opportunities, in the forms of money, time, food, companionship. And there are ways abundance finds me that I can not have imagined would ever come to exist. When I make time for myself, and truly give myself the gift of self-care, I can immerse myself in the truth of my own peace, calm and love. And in that open space of peacefulness and calm, I more fully enjoy the abundance I receive and more easily recognize the opportunities surrounding me. I am more able to respond with light and love. I am more able to receive. It's quite a remarkable cycle! For me, abundance truly is a space of gratitude - enjoying all that comes to me from an open space of receiving. What does abundance mean to you? What is your definition of abundance? In what forms do you manifest abundance? For what do you wish to express your gratitude? Labels: Exercises # posted by Amy L.
