How am I rich?

  • Maeve
    Rich in a wealth of interesting and unusual life experiences. Being exposed to an abundance of cultures: having lived on 3 continents by the time I was 12. And continuing to work with children from a wealth of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Being healthy and active for which I am grateful.. Living in the city with so many opportunities to enjoy art, music, performance s, while also being able to access the beauty of tbe natural world: the White Mountains, the ocean. Just so...

    Just some of my riches. And so many more…

    While it is not an embarrassment of riches I have not gone hungry, ever, nor been without a roof over my head, or people that cared about me relatively available if needed. I am poor enough to have a sense of going without just enough to make it possible for me to therefore appreciate what I do have and to alleviate any anxiety that lack of material wealth has a connection to abundance of what really matters: the ability to be true to oneself, free of internal contradictions and the crippling fe...

    While it is not an embarrassment of riches I have not gone hungry, ever, nor been without a roof over my head, or people that cared about me relatively available if needed. I am poor enough to have a sense of going without just enough to make it possible for me to therefore appreciate what I do have and to alleviate any anxiety that lack of material wealth has a connection to abundance of what really matters: the ability to be true to oneself, free of internal contradictions and the crippling fear that accompanies it that someone will find out, some rather too many good and perhaps lost causes for which to die on a hill for. And my health.

    I’m surrounded by love. From colleagues to family to friends to my partner, I’m blessed to have so many people who got my back.

  • Patricia

    In family, marriage, living in the woods, general health, having many interests and a can-do spirit. Being loved. Knowing I am held by God – and many times actually living as if I believe that!

  • EJP

    I am rich in my multitude of blessings which allows me to live simple and easy with gratefulness.

  • Marnie Jackson

    In so many ways: my family, my health, feeling fulfilled with work, my safe environment, never worrying about food or water or where I am going to sleep at night

  • devy

    Having the opportunity to experience being healthy and alive.. as i get older And look amongst my friends, many are denied both..

  • InvisibleRainbow

    I am rich in mistakes! As long as I’m learning from them, it will hopefully be okay.

  • MJM2213

    Family. Support.Kindness and responsiveness.

  • sunnypatti

    Love. Family. Health. Experience. Resiliency. And I have a lot to be grateful for!

  • Lee Anne

    I am wealthy in the simplicity of my life. I have time to listen to whoever needs my attention, time to ponder, and the quietude to be still and hear God. I know who I am in Christ. There is nothing more I need. What glory! 🕊

  • Mary Pat

    My children. My friends. Our dog. A body that works, even though it is sick right now. The ability and privilege to see Nature all around me.

  • Kevin

    “I am rich in daughters,” is a term I have used since our three daughters were born during the 1970’s. Today, that richness continues, as my entire family, three daughters, three sons-in-law, and seven grandchildren, all lives locally and continue to enrich my life and my wife’s life every day.

    • Sandra

      This is so beautiful, Kevin. I am one of 4 daughters and I think my father would say the same as you 😊 I, in turn, am rich in fathers. I may have just one but he has been a huge gift and an unending source of richness.

      • Kevin

        Thanks for your kind words here, Sandra. And how wonderful and precious that you have the relationship with your dad that you do. I’ve had some of our daughters adult friends approach me and say that they wished that they could say the same thing about their fathers, but cannot, and could not, for reasons too painful to discuss. With reality as a backdrop, how lucky are we to be so blessed, for family, and love to flow so freely within?

        • Sandra

          Yes, absolutely, Kevin. I remember well when I first started to realise that not all families were like mine. It is a rare and precious thing and I value it daily 😊

    • Pilgrim

      This reminds me of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof! Gave me a huge smile this morning. Also my dad, who had one son followed by 4 daughters 🙂

  • Michele

    My children:)

  • Christine

    I know what love is 💛.
