“Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little…” Patrick J. Kennedy
Inspiration: An Abundance of Riches... feed thy neighbor and thyself...
When we think of abundant riches and what we would do if they came knocking on our door, it is quite easy to get caught up in our reverie and imagine a life filled with opulence and untold excesses… We might linger on our fantasies for a while or if we are fortunate, gain a moment of lucidity; remembering that our abundant blessings are to be shared. I love the quote above because it is a reminder that true abundance is not just about our gains, but also about whether we provide enough to those who have too little.
“Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.” Epicurus
Inspiration: An Abundance of Riches... Share the health & happiness

I figured that with our health in positive alignment, we can accomplish many things and live productive lives. With happiness, which encompasses every other blessing; spiritual, material, mental and otherwise, we have a complete package to help us live abundantly.
Of course, the key is to not just wish it for ourselves; but to also bless others and wish them just as much. If we look around our communities, there are many struggling to make ends meet and then others living quite lavish lifestyles. If each of us offers some assistance; shared our good fortune, we will make a positive impact on another person’s life.
