WHO IS RICH?


True riches are found in the common, the ordinary. All these riches are free to enjoy and within our grasp if we take the time to notice, experience, and appreciate them. The one who is truly rich is the one who feels joy and gratitude  for  the simple, the ordinary, the common as seen in...

The beauty of nature...
Sunshine
Flowers
Trees
Mountains
A beautiful snowfall


Rain
Ocean waves rolling onto shore
Lakes and Rivers
Sunsets over the ocean
Sun Rises
Forest animals that appear in unexpected places
Birds that whistle happy
Morning dew on plants



The beauty of loving one another...
Hugs
Smiles
Laughter
Family
Friends
Children
Grandchildren

Enjoying...
Books
Creativity

Beautiful Art
Music
A walk in the woods
Watching children at play
Singing
Puppies



Learning to enjoy the ordinary...
Cooking and preparing a meal together
Loving the fresh smell of laundry drying in the sun
Color all around us
Growing a garden

Appreciating..
The joy of giving and serving
Faith
Prayer
Being able to learn new things
Being Thankful

Take time to enjoy all the above and more and you will be truly rich!

  2. A lovely post and so true. I was hurring on a such a speed, before l got cronically ill, that I hardly thought about all these wonderful things. Being forced to stop hurrying ahead opened my eyes to lifes true riches indeed. Strangely, it made me a richer person inside although poorer in money. Blessings, Pam xx
