I am very grateful for abundance of my new space (home) with beautiful spring flowers, trees and birds each morning singing me awake. I am grateful for my abundance of love from my children. 💕
My daughter-in-law took me to KC to see my primary doctor today. I no longer drive in the big city. I am grateful for her for taking time in her busy day to chauffeur me and the abundance of her love.
I have so much abundance in my life right now
that I hardly know where to begin . . .
I don’t have quite the abundance of sky that Joseph has,
but I do have birds and bees . . .
robins and chickadees and crows.
I have flowers and worms,
ticks and berries to feed them,
and four water sources spread around . . .
may they sleep in the trees tonight with full bellies.
I love my little co-op here
with rabbits, squirrels, ground hogs and deer,
with the occasional skunk or opposum.
The vegetable garden is off limits this year,
but there is plenty to nibble around the edges.
I have abundance
where I had nothing before . . .
I have my gardens,
and my private spaces,
but I also have people-love in my life . . .
I have a husband who loves me
and has grown to love me over the years.
I have a son
who thinks I’m worthy of his attention.
I have my heart back
and my sanity,
or what passes for sanity,
and my health.
I have people who share with me,
with whom I share . . .
people who are in my life for different reasons,
and those I’ve never met,
who nourish my soul
and may not know they are my heroes.
I have abundance
where I had nothing before . . .
and I would be disastrously remiss
if I was not grateful for what I have now.
I have the world in my heart,
I have the stars in my head.
I have the rich, brown soil of earth in my belly,
and the salt of the sea swirling around my feet.
I am a part of all of Nature . . .
I have more
than I ever could have asked for
and I will be grateful
long after I draw my last breath in this body. ♥
For abundance of patience of my fellow friends; for having succeeded in sending a letter with content needed to be sorted out since a while; fpr abundanve of time neededd to write this letter; for so many friends close to my heart; for my siste´s big heart and being able to be present so often; for the delicious and healthy food available so easily ; for the many breaths i am able to take without even being aware pf it, for the frienship offered by my dear friends and loved once on good days as well as on sad ones; for sharing here when possible, for the deep love which lis fully present here which is inspired and in the same time inspiring us all, to me undeserved today. Thank you dearly.
There is so much abundance that I am grateful for,
but today, I am especially grateful for electricity, fans ice, and clean water.
With a high forecasted to be 96 today and 96 over the weekend
and the air conditioning not working, 🙁
I am ever so grateful for fans and ice cold drinks. 🧊
My intention today is to be peaceful and accepting of my day and and of myself.
Oh gosh, Mary, that sounds like a challenge! I hope that your air conditioner gets fixed soon– I imagine that you will appreciate it extra much once it is. I am glad that at least you have access to fans and ice cold drinks ♥️.
The abundance of birds fluttering around in our yard, singing and chirping and enjoying the bird bath. The abundance of sunshine where I live. The abundance of healthy, high quality food that I am fortunate to have access to. The abundance of inspiring writings by spiritual authors that I have access to. The abundance of wisdom shared by you all on this site ♥️
I got an abundance of sleep last night, which is fabulous!
I’m on the road for a work meeting and have an abundance of time to get ready, eat breakfast, and arrive in the room where the board I’m on is meeting. The morning feels a bit more spacious than when i’m home and I need to jump on my computer for meetings that start earlier.
Last night I had dinner with a friend who lives near the town I’m in and we had a wonderful abundance of time to talk, catch up on what’s been happening in our lives, laugh, share empathy with each other on hard things that have happened, and eat delicious food. She gives me the gift of her whole attention and I tried to return that in kind.
I have an abundance of driving in front of me to get back home, which isn’t my favorite thing. But I arranged to drive a carpool, so I have company and conversation to look forward to on the trip.
When I get home, I will get an abundance of hugs from my sweet husband, then possibly some passing attention from the cat, who is not Mr. Abundance with the love, but then he’s a cat.
I have an abundance of a smart and funny dog to play with. An abundance of sunny, warm weather, an abundance of matcha and of sourdough starter. An abundance of good soil to plant an abundance of vegetables. The city is green and blooming.
I am grateful for the abundance of sunshine on this beautiful Friday morning & for all the birds singing their little hearts out.
Thankful for last night’s rain because everything, grass, trees, vegetation is a deep luscious green.
I give thanks for my coffee, toast, clean water & the gift of a new day.
My blessings are plenty.🙏🏻✨🩷
I am grateful for abundance in love, growth, and stability. I remember when I yearned for these things in years past, so I don’t take any of it for granted.
I’m grateful for all the support around me as I navigate these next several weeks without Ngoc. So far, not only have I been handling it well, I’ve also been able to give enthusiastic answers when grown ups ask me about missing Ngoc or crying over her. It’s their way of care even though I disagree with it deep down inside but have gotten used to it now.
There are 3 ways of care: nurturing, protective, and autonomous. Nurturing shows concerns for others emotions and well-being. Protective feels more strict. Autonomous is my branch. Paw Mu and I share the same root of nurturing care. Her’s branch out into protective while mine is autonomous. It’s normal for collective cultures to have more of a protective style of care. The family name comes first. Because I lived in the US since I was 1.5yrs old. Autonomous care has been a part of me.
Having open-minded parents, especially my mom, really helps a lot. They’ve adopted many western concepts over the years while maintaining their eastern base. On the other hand, I’ve also learned to intigrade eastern elements on to my western base too. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Now that my Triple R days are behind me, I feel I can adapt to any system naturally. Humility is the biggest thing I’ve drawn from the eastern world.
One basketball player my parents and Ngoc have playfully profiled my personality as is Anthony Edwards, because they follow the Minnesota Timberwolves. I agree with them, because on many occasions, I’ve seen how his trash talk has backfired on him. He doesn’t have 6 rings to back it up like MJ. However, I love his swagger, because it’s something I can relate to. Same with my mouth.
A perfect example is when I claimed to Ngoc and my mom that I’m close to being in 5th grade for my Vietnamese and ask them, especially my mom, to see if I can go up to 5th grade yet. My mom is the tougher teacher. She told me “Resounding No.” but said that I’m close. I smiled. Then, I followed that up with a lot of errors on my 7 paragraph essay where Ngoc and I worked together tirelessly to help me make corrections. My parents and Ngoc acknowledged great progress at a rapid rate but also assured me that there’s a lot of work to be done.
The Timberwolves have made the conference finals 2 years in a row now for the first time in history. The product is far from finished. I’d like to see a finals appearance like many Minnesota fans. Winning a championship would hurt, because there are financial restrictions in a small market. The Minneapolis Lakers had to relocate to LA in 1959-60.
Loc, do you follow the University of Minnesota basketball team at all? My husband is a big Colorado State University fan, and he was so sad when Niko Medved left for the University of Minnesota. (but my husband is also really excited to have Ali Farokhmanesh as CSU’s new coach)
Elizabeth, I follow the pros. But during March Madness, I keep tabs on some teams too. The ones I’m most familiar with are the big ones such as: Duke, UCONN, UCLA, or USC…
I have an abundance of time today. In Atlanta traffic this is an unusual blessing. I do not need to rush to my work event; I don’t have to rush home. I will listen to a few spiritual talks and be the kindest version of myself on the road.

You DO deserve it,
dear Ose . . .
never forget this truth. ♥
I feel fortunate to have many loving friends and family. I do need to call on them more when I am having a hard time.
I’m grateful for the current abundance of work. I’m tired, but grateful. I’m also grateful that I can do the work. Physically and emotionally.
There is so much abundance that I am grateful for,
but today, I am especially grateful for electricity, fans ice, and clean water.
With a high forecasted to be 96 today and 96 over the weekend
and the air conditioning not working, 🙁
I am ever so grateful for fans and ice cold drinks. 🧊
My intention today is to be peaceful and accepting of my day and and of myself.
Sending out love and peace to all.
Hope it gets fixed ASAP, not fun but glad you have fans and plenty of ice
I had a fan with me all day!
Oh gosh, Mary, that sounds like a challenge! I hope that your air conditioner gets fixed soon– I imagine that you will appreciate it extra much once it is. I am glad that at least you have access to fans and ice cold drinks ♥️.
It was fixed at about 5 pm.
So glad!!!
Yay!
Same here, I hope it gets fixed soon. Yikes, that’s hot.
It is hot for May. ☀️😎🥵

(No snark intended Barb)
Being a cat person, like myself,
I figured you would relate to a little cat humor, below 😊
“…then possibly some passing attention from the cat.”
😸😸😸
Silly Human, the cat will get to you at a time of the cat’s choosing.
🥰🥰🥰 ♥️

I am grateful for all the greenery that is surrounding me along with the spring colors.
Possibilities and options abound.

I don’t either,

not anymore. ♥

Gotta love Ant-man… headed to the conference finals, but admitted he still didn’t beat Steph Curry 🙂
Lauryn, Wolves just beat Warriors 4-1. I see where you’re going. Steph has 4 rings. Ant has just as much as we do. Ant better learn some humility.

Avril, it’s always nice to have extra time. I’m a beta male personality, so I know the song and dance all too well.
