Abundance

It is hard to think, and much more to talk about abundance positively during this unusual time. 

The Great Force in the Universe has sent good people into my life to remind me that abundance exists in more ways than one.

Today I woke up with a roof above my head, food on the table, and with my family. I could not thank my Creator enough for these blessings. 

I was ill for a while, but I have supportive and caring people in my inner circle who pushed me towards a speedy recovery.  The abundance of love and care are much greater than hardship. 

My professional life is on a hiatus, but abundance won't let me be in this phase empty-handed.  What I have now is an abundance of quality time to re-examine the things that truly matter in life, front and center. I am obtaining a better understanding of how it is to fully recuperate, recharge, and reconnect. Life continues to surprise me in its terms.  The Swahili phrase hakuna matata (meaning, "there are no troubles") is possible with an abundance of faith.  

If you happen to be reading this post, I wish you and your loved ones with all the Abundance life has to offer.  

"And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work." - 2 Corinthians 9:8

Hi, Bye, Sadness!

Dear Sadness, 

You're not a good companion to have, but yes of course, you are one of those feelings that make me human.  So, I let you in.  Tell you what.  You are not welcome to stay.

Here we are, it has been months of on-off seeing each other. You're back again, and it has become obvious that you wanted to stay longer.  I really wanted to kick you out of my mind, out of my life every chance I get,  but it appears that you have grown stronger after depleting my fuel of enthusiasm for a good life. You became vicious in your attempt to cut me off from the people and things I love.  I have to stop you now. 

I'm giving you a hard time.  It's obvious I'm still functioning, though I'm always sick and tired.  I'm armed with faith, hope, and love - cheesy as it may sound, but they have been good companions throughout my life.  I have a treasure trove of good people in my life, too.  Some of them are helping me beat the hell out of you.  You are just an episode, not my entire life.   Pack your things, and go. Now. 

Me
