Choosing Abundance

In the spirit of full disclosure: my life is pretty comfortable. That doesn't mean, however, I don't worry about money or how we're going to afford to keep all the plates in the air. I often remind myself of the adage: want less or earn more. Easier said than done. Often my life is one of earning less and wanting more!! Call me human. Flawed but human.

What I do know, however, is that when I choose — and I mean choose — to focus on what I have, on the abundance in my life, I actually feel rich. And when I feel rich, I tend to attract more abundance. Classic Laws of Attraction at work. What we believe about our lives . . . what we focus on . . . is what we get more of. Suddenly, a new writing job comes my way. Or I get a "deal" on my Internet service, saving me a few dollars each month. Or an old friend comes back into my life, making me feel rich in a whole different way.

I look around the dinner table on "family day" and appreciate the four kids, three spouses and five grandchildren I've just cooked for. I smile at my sink of dirty dishes, focusing more on playing a game than cleaing up the mess.

My life in abundant. In choosing to embrace that, every day is a bit richer. May yours be also. - ps
