Daily Question, September 18

What abundance can I be thankful for today?

  • The Night Queen

    I am thankful for my abundance of choices. I have so many choices, freedoms and options I am able to make on a daily basis from what’s for lunch, what TV show am I going to watch, to who will I vote for and what will I fight for.

    I am thankful for the abundance of love pouring down and through everything I see, and touch and and hear. “Everything is a love letter.” Candice O’Denver

    Abundance of encouragement and kinship — experienced in a free, online healing arts workshop offered today during World Childless Week. We were guided in a creative technique called “cosmic smashbooking.” Wow. First time I have opened my art journal since 2014. I am grateful for this gift.

    Abundance of love.

    Today was the mid-week market in town. Abundance of beautiful products by local farmers. To have access to such high quality local food and beauty I feel is a gift of sorts, for which I am really thankful. I just saw a documentary about a small community in Great Britain where some people managed to inspire the chief of the local hospital to allow planting eatable food instead of ornamental bushes, looked after by honorary volunteers, and the police in this small town waters eatable plants in fr...

I just saw a documentary about a small community in Great Britain where some people managed to inspire the chief of the local hospital to allow planting eatable food instead of ornamental bushes, looked after by honorary volunteers, and the police in this small town waters eatable plants in front of their police station, where people then can take the food for free all over the town. Such an inspiring initiative! Abundance for all, such a beautiful idea!

    This morning I am thankful for the abundance of beauty that I got to witness during my bike ride into work. I live in the countryside of western Washington State. My home is about 10 miles away from my office. I set out on my bike ride as the sun was making it's way up over the Cascade mountains to the East. It had rained all night and the crops in the fields sparkled as the light made the droplets of water come to life. Birds flew overhead, cheerfully singing and welcoming in another day. Cloud...

    This morning I am thankful for the abundance of beauty that I got to witness during my bike ride into work. I live in the countryside of western Washington State. My home is about 10 miles away from my office. I set out on my bike ride as the sun was making it’s way up over the Cascade mountains to the East. It had rained all night and the crops in the fields sparkled as the light made the droplets of water come to life. Birds flew overhead, cheerfully singing and welcoming in another day. Clouds on the horizon looked robust, capable of showering the earth with life-giving rain. The humid air smelled of the ocean, located just 3 miles to the West. For 10 miles I was able to ride into work, enjoying and marveling at the beauty that was so obviously abundant in my midst. I am really thankful for that beauty today.

    My abundance comes in the form of connection to my higher power. May I remember today that I am that greater wisdom and free me from the bondage of a separate self.

  • Mica

    An unexpected choice, when I checked my calendar today, between staying home as I had planned, and going to a party with a group I belong to!

  • Dave Crocker

    Dedicated and loyal qigong & tai chi students who bless with their presence at my weekly classes.

  • pkr

    For ALL of it. I am so blessed. I am grateful for it ALL. ?❤️

  • Tom

    I can really be thankful for the abundance of love. I really believe deep in my heart in the goodness that exists in each human soul. Even when we see it clouded over so much these days…media, politics, winners and losers. Do I struggle and forget this belief? Often!. But, I truly believe it exists. I can be thankful for the ability to access this abundant love within myself and share it with the world in my unique way.

  • Carla

    All of my “needs” are taken care of or are provided for. My self centered ness will think of “wants,” and I chuckle for they are mere illusions & deceptions.

  • Ed

    This whole day is mine to use!

  • Butterfly

    My care worker has just accidentally smashed my favourite mug. But I am so grateful that I have other mugs to use and that I have access to clean, safe drinking water along with abundant food of my choice, a safe home and people who care about me.

    • Mica

      Thank you, Butterfly, for sharing your gratitude in this situation!

    • … so many things we are used to, it’s so good to acknowledge the abundance in these… and also to have a care worker… so beautiful

  • I can choose how to take care of my health, in addition to what is allowed by the welfare of my country. I can choose my food.
    I can choose the source of my daily news.
    I can devote some time to myself. I don’t suffer constrictions when I vote.

  • GCharlotte

    Good health insurance that is helping to cover my physical therapy.

    My family, home, food in the house, water to shower, my car, my job… very thankful and grateful.

    The line comes to mind. 'I complained I had no shoes until I saw a man who had no feet'. My husband while filling gas saw a homeless man walking around with pieces of carpet strapped to his feet as makeshift slippers. My husband then witnessed another man remove his own shoes, give it to the homeless man and then the giver just gets into his car and drives away. Every single thing is abundant and a gift from God and the Universe. I pray that in addition to gratitude, like the giver, that I m...

      Journey,

      I so appreciate your sharing this magnificent witnessing of the stranger giving his shoes to the homeless man, who had carpet strapped to his feet. Abundance comes to us and others in many-faceted ways. It brings a more heightened awareness of the myriad of different ways I am blessed with abundance flowing to and through me. Thank you.

    • Pilgrim
