Abundance & Good Fortune

 At this time, when many of the world’s people are living under the worst possible circumstances, it is impossible not to stop and realize how much I truly have and how filled with good fortune my life is.  In a world, and in a time when so much good and evil exist simultaneously, my life and my world are filled with goodness and an abundance of blessings.   To not appreciate what we have is to fail to comprehend all of life’s gifts that we are already in possession of.  We cannot receive the gifts in our lives without appreciating them.
