I will see it when I believe it. - Wayne Dyer

Yesterday was just another day full of abundance, and blessings, that just kept getting better and better.

Let me just start off by sharing a little story.  This last week, I did a favor for some friends and watched their dogs, and house while they were away on vacation.  When asked what I expected to get paid, my response was, “Not much, I sat here and ate free for a week.”  All I can say is that due to their generosity, some of the things I have been needing, and wanting, became a reality.

Awhile back, I accidentally washed my mp3 player.  I decided at the time, that this was a luxury item, something I didn’t really need.  Well since I started working, my car, and its CD player, have become my personal sanctuary whenever I go on break.  A few weeks ago, I quickly came to realize that its already starting to get too hot to sit in the car, and listen to music, or whatever audio book I’m going through at the moment.  So, yeah, I asked for a material thing.  I asked the universe / source / God, whatever you choose to call it, for an IPOD.  I didn’t know how I was going to get one, and with the turmoil Geico caused in my checking account, that put me behind.  The damage they caused, was almost half a weeks pay for me.

Because of the generosity shown by these friends, I was able to go and pick up myself an IPOD yesterday.  I don’t know how much I can stress how important music has become to me at work.  Those times that I am able to just go to my car and listen to something uplifting, really help me get through those days where its a bit hectic, or the pain in my back has become almost unbearable.  To have that ability, even during the summer, without racking up a huge gas bill running the A/C, to say it was imperative, is an understatement.

On top of that, there is a project that I have been wanting to work on, a video blog / podcast that I think a lot of people are ready for.  That project moved one step closer to becoming a reality yesterday.

The blessings continued to pour in.  Rita and Denny gave my nieces a great computer desk, and I spent the rest of my day over at their house helping to move out the old desk, and put in the new one.  Not only that, because of Randi’s blog post on SaveLV.Com, I was also able to score four tickets to The Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay for the family, and interestingly enough, CiCi’s, a buffet pizza place we ate at often, back in Texas, opened up here, so guess where we had dinner.  We have been waiting for almost five years for them to move this far west, and they finally got here.   Also the book I requested at the library showed up, and because of amnesty week, the library erased my $4.75 worth of fines, among other things.  Really, there were so many things that happened throughout the day, each and every one of them another blessing.

It was a cool day.  Not only was it full of blessings for me, but I in turn, was able to be a blessing to others.  That is the whole point of this journey, to live a life so overflowing in abundance, that it can’t help but pour out, and touch others.
