little things mean more.....

i have enough things around me to live. i could only feel rich and content if i will only appreciate the little things that i see and feel and and those that affect my life. they are there for many reasons and my heart is gratified for their presence. i have started celebrating abundance by listing the many positives present in my life and by reflecting on the joys they bring.
Abundance is . . .
a snuggle i feel and giggles i hear at this very moment
is basket full of dirty laundry
is an old-fashioned television
is a broken telephone unit
is thoughts of the many people i miss
is bills to pay every month
is an empty container of hair conditioner
is pay-day in a week's time
is a sink full of dirty dishes
is time spent studying with munchkins
is an updated status in facebook
is photos of people i know and love posted on the web
is a conversation with munchkins on our way home
is fried fish for dinner
is a prayer of grace said on the dinner table
is vanilla ice cream for desert
is work done after 5
is good night said to a colleague
is a seat on a packed bus
is hugs and kisses from munchkins waiting for me
is a cool breeze from the balcony
is the quietness of my place
is the thought of what's in store for me tomorrow at work
is drawings and paper mache craft and crayons on my desk
is a smile from a stranger as I head out for lunch
is mud on my rain bootsAbundance is wilted flowers and trees bereft of leaves
is pennies and nickel in my purse
is voices of munchkins in the morning arguing over something
is rice krispies scattered on the floor
is a walk on damp streets with munchkins to school
is a packed subway train to work
is accomplishing so much today
is hearing the humm of my laptop amidst the peaceful night
is my soft blanket wrapped around me
is a comfy bed to fall into now that i'm tired.
is the loud snore of munchkins sleeping
is a steaming hot choco with marshmallows
is the dark sky spitting wet snow
is a text message from someone i love
is knowing in my heart that every day is always the best day of my life
is the pitter patter of rain on my head
is a decaf coffee on a white paper cup
is legit and junk emails at work
is my desk scattered with opportunities
is a hello over the phone from someone afar
is wafers and a cookie dunked in coffee
