gratitude sunday

abundance is not something we acquire. it is something we tune into." -wayne dyer

i read this quote on Shannon's blog and thought i would include it in a gratitude post. i haven't done one of these for a while, but I was reminded by her post how important it is to tune your awareness into the abundance in your life and into what is lacking. i usually am a person who keeps on the sunny side of life. but, we all complain once in a while about something we wish were different in our lives. those complaints usually never make me feel better. but, writing out a list of the things i am grateful for or speaking them aloud, always lifts my spirits. i am always grateful for the big things: my life, my loved ones, my health and safety and place in this world. but, for these posts, i will focus on what i am grateful for this week. these are the things this week that brought me into the light.
