This is so easy and so cool!

Yesterday I was surprised to see delicious things I’d never noticed before as I walked back from the beach on the same old street.

I had been looking for and naming abundances: sand, water, ozone (the invigorating beach kind) and fresh air, birds, smiles, beach lilies, getting up close to a little rabbit holding breakfast grass in its mouth. So I was feeling pretty good as I headed home.

Then I saw, really saw, things along the street I’d never seen before. Isn’t it fun to quit being oblivious and start noticing?!!

The bubbling happiness of noticing abundance stayed with me all morning.

And I realized how much this habit of gratitude has sustained me. Many times, even on the most difficult days, happiness would bubble up inside me at unexpected times.

Are you ever surprised by moments of Joy like that? Just walking across the room or out to get the paper and suddenly it’s there - Effervescent Bubbles of Joy. What I’ve discovered is that the more I am grateful and aware of the abundances in my life, the more Joy is there when I least expect it.

Like the Law of Attraction says, you get more of what you focus on. But the bonus is, it’s there to sustain you when you aren’t even focusing on it!

You can change your life with this simple technique. Get a little journal and start recording all the abundances you are blessed with every day. Really notice it, even tiny little things you’ve been taking for granted, like time on the parking meter, finding a penny (that’s found money!), a friend treating you to coffee, etc. Feel it in every cell of your body.

As you focus on the abundance in your life, you will uncork the champagne of your life and bubbles of joy will effervesce through all of your life.
