Tallying Up The Abundance You Already Have

I had a few minutes on my porch yesterday and I saw a declaration about abundance in the form of money. I agreed with it. I do request a surplus of income. I mean, I don’t know too many people that wouldn’t welcome deeper pockets and larger bank accounts. I don’t know what your reasons are but one of mine is so I can alleviate some of my financial woes. I would like to also be able to help others in need and honestly, money helps to do that. Of course there are other ways like volunteering and donating food and clothing. But this isn’t about that.

I started to think, “What do I already have an abundance of?” Even if it’s not necessarily whole. I have an abundance of leadway on how I start my morning. It may seem small but to I get to decide how I want to start my mornings and the primary way is having a cup of coffee on my porch or small landing in the backyard. This I have in abundance. I didn’t always have this. It was wake up, hurry up and get ready, drop the child off, get to work. I did learn to take that drive time and turn it into some morning time. It was sufficient but, I yearned for more. And now I have it. Although, when I was caregiving for my father and dealing with my mother’s consistent disregard for my own personal needs, I still had that time more than most. I was able to enforce those boundaries. I didn’t mind my dad calling to gain clarity about his meds that morning or to tell me something was missing. Of course when it was urgent there was no problem stopping my morning routine. But when it was something that could wait until after 9am it would really bother me because I usually was caregiving all day. I don’t like being called with a to do list or a nasty attitude or woken up to drama. That happened too often. My dad had no problem understanding my need for space. He, too, had alone time to pray and read or just watch a show/movie. And yes, mom showed some improvement with me enforcing those boundaries.

What do you have an abundance of that is good? I have a 3 bedroom home. If I look at it with the right perspective, it is an abundance to me. I have a room for all of my crafting stuff (which will be decluttered even further soon!). I wanted that. I have an abundance of coziness in my home. It’s small and cozy. It feels like a hug. I have an abundance of flowers in my flower bed. So, I pondered many things I could consider abundance. Even an abundance of love for my daughter and the abundance of love she has for me. And when you finish thinking about what you have in abundance, give thanks. Take deep gratitude into your heart for that park you have in abundance of, each thing, love, faith, joy, etc. Coffee lol. I have an abundance of that. Be ye grateful deeply!

And wait on ways to have a surplus of finances if that is on your list. Think of ways to have an abundance of time for the people or thing you love to do. When I say wait, I mean opportunities coming to you or you being inspired to make those things happen. However you manifest is your business.
