![]() Here we are at wonderful Wishcasting Wednesday! Low and behold Jamie has posed another excellent question What do you wish to remember? In the US, businesses are bombarding us with as many adverts as possible in an effort to get us to buy bunches of stuff. And many folks, including myself, just aren't as financially well off this year as they were last year which can lead to feeling poor. This year we chosen not to spend much on things as we'd rather have experiences. But I still have a little bit of nagging from the voice of excess. That voice says buying more stuff will create the joyful magic I try to recreate every time this year. That voice longs to have a larger account balance... But this morning, I think back on years past and realize it was never the excess that made the magic It was the company of family and friends and of good food and quality time spent together There were abundant smiles on my kids faces as we prepared to welcome our friends into our home for a Lucia celebration. There was an abundance of magic in my friends together sharing their stories. There was even joy in the weeks after the holidays were over when we were snowed in for a week. As I thought on those things, that voice became silent. It no longer mattered what the adverts say or what account balance is at. I had an abundance of memories lifting my spirits reminding me of the joy of this season. So today and every day, I wish to remember abundance is a state of mind not linked to buying more stuff, having more stuff or any positive or negative account balance. It's something locked in my memories and all around me. I don't have to look very hard to find the abundance I seek. Abundance always abounds. 23/11/2011 05:06:40
I agree, the holidays is way too commercialized. It such be a time of refection & spending time with the people we love. :]

Well said, there is stuff the advertisers might want to show you but the magic really is in shared smiles of friends and family, what could be more valuable than that Comments are closed.
