for enough


Another side effect of gratitude (besides happiness) is contentment. When I am grateful for what I have, what I have becomes enough. I know this to be true.

Here's another thing: we have always had enough food to eat, and a comfortable roof over our heads. Our needs have always been met and that is a blessing I will never, ever take for granted.

  1. I had a feeling of enough today with the reports coming from Phillipines. And a enough to share.

  3. we've been dejunking around here too -- we always do a big one right before and right after christmas. it's so cleansing. a friend's sister was recently diagnosed with cancer and has lost a lot of weight with all the taxing treatments and so i found myself be overly judicious as i went though shamefully well-stocked closet and found things i could give her. it felt stupendous!
