Little bits of sunshine peek through the clouds this morning, bringing a much needed break from the rain. What a gift! As we collectively continue to feel the effects of a lagging economy, coupled with the rainy weather of late, it is easy to fall prey to negativity and sometimes, even despair (we’ve seen a fair amount of this coming through our doors recently). It may seem hard to believe right now, but we do still live in an abundant universe! The flow of abundance may appear a bit obscured at the moment, but it is there… we only have to know where to see it.
Years ago, a chance meeting with a stranger on a day that I was experiencing much personal despair taught me that abundance was indeed all around me; I only had to pay attention to it. I left that chance meeting baffled and a little frustrated. Where was I supposed to be looking? WHAT was I supposed to be paying attention to? I spent many days and weeks pondering what this message really meant. One day, on a walk of solitude, I noticed the branch of a nearby bush move just slightly. It was enough to catch my eye, so I stopped for a moment to see if I might catch a glimpse of what caused the movement. There appeared to be nothing there other than the bush itself. As I stood looking at this bush, I became aware of the warmth of the sun washing over me and I looked up to the clear, blue sky. All at once, I understood where this abundance was … it was in the warmth of the sun, the deep blue color of the sky, the fragrant scent of the nearby bush … These are gifts of abundance that surround us every day, gifts that cannot be taken away by a down economy. Even the rain is a gift for those of us that get our water from wells, also blessing us with a reduced chance of fires that might burn out of control.
The ability to find the flow of abundance and live in its stream mainly comes from perception and attitude. The glass being half full or half empty exemplifies this. There are natural cycles to everything in our world – bad weather and a lagging economy are no exception, as history has shown us. In time, balance will return. In the meantime, these changes have required us to live and look at things differently. We have been guided to use our resources in ways that we haven’t in the past, and all of these changes have caused us to slow down a little bit, to consider the effects of our actions and to move forward in a new way. The opportunity that has been presented to us here is a gift … to slow down … to live more simply … to appreciate the gifts that are always afforded us, such as sunshine, water, fresh air and the love of family and friends.
Think about the things that make you smile – make a list of them to refer back to on days that seem a little bleak. Look around you at home, at work and outdoors, and notice the little things that bring you joy… for it’s the little things that make living life worthwhile.
