Rampage of Appreciation for my business!

I love my job!

I love the freedom and flexibility that it affords me to work as and when I choose. I love that I can work at midnight if I can't sleep, and I love that I can choose to sit in the park with a coffee and work on a sunny afternoon.

I am thankful for the many wonderful people that I meet and the lessons that I learn from each of them as they tell their stories of achievement and success.

I am grateful for an opportunity to be part of a company that values integrity most highly, and also places emphasis on honesty, trust and commitment to being the best at what we do each day.

I love the endless opportunities for growth that are only capped by my imagination and willingness to succeed. I am lucky that I can run the business on my terms whilst still being backed by a national brand name.

Every day I am thankful for my business and the wonderful life that I have.

Rampage of Appreciation for our house.

The quickest way to create something new and wonderful in your life is to be thankful for all that you already have. Having seen a lovely house in Yarra Glen that might just be perfect for us, I wanted to take the time to appreciate all the beauty and joy that our current house brings. Here goes:

Our little house is a sweet and comfortable home that provides us with shelter and protection from the elements. I am thankful that it is warm in winter and cool in summer and the many windows provide a constant outlook onto nature. Being so small, it is easy to keep clean and well maintained and it has such a cosy, personal feel to it. The recently painted walls and the new timber laminate floor provide an updated yet casual look and complement our dark chocolate furniture and gold trimmings so perfectly. I am grateful for the safe location that allows for peaceful meditation and moments of quiet thought. This home is an oasis in the midst of a sometimes hectic life and it's sunny outlook and simplistic layout create calm and work together to combat any craziness or chaos.

I am thankful for our beautiful home and will appreciate our time here long after we have moved into our new home.

I just love this process. It is drawn from "Ask and It Is Given" by Esther and Jerry Hicks from the teachings of Abraham-Hicks. So here goes!

Today's rampage of appreciation:

The thing that I love most about today were the moments when I heard the chitter chatter of the birds outside the window.

I love that the sound of birds is a constant. In almost any environment, I am no more than a few steps away from somewhere that I can hear birds if I listen closely. Birds live in the moment...they're not focused on paying bills or planning for the future. They are just happy being alive in this moment, happy to be chattering away or foraging for food as if it's the most natural thing in the world.

I love that they reminded me that living in the moment is natural, that the tendency to live in the past or sometime in the future is a learned behaviour.

I love that the sounds of the birds today reminded me to stop for a moment and just be. It reminded me to look beyond myself to notice the patterns of the clouds forming outside the window and the detail of the leaf patterns on the trees that continue to grow whether they have my attention or not.

I love that the many different sounds of the birds reminded me how precious the differences in each of us are and that to be the same would be to live in a world of "gray".

I am so thankful and appreciative of the moments that I shared in blissful awareness of the neighbourhood birds today. Life is joyous and wondrous when we make the time to stop and notice in conscious awareness.
