With the amount of responsibilities in our lives, I know that a lot people can barely get through one week, when they are already thinking about what lies ahead in the following one.  We lose track of where we are, due to the busy schedules that fill up our days.  I was thinking about this dilemma earlier today  as I realized that the summer is almost over and the new Autumn season is waiting in the wings to take its turn.  The amount of time that is spent on raising children, going to work along with the other myriad of things that we are a part of on a daily basis can be overwhelming.  We must remember to ensure that we give ourselves some priority on the list of things to do.  Our mind, body and spirit work at their best when we have a better balance of all things.  Whether it is the early morning or late in the evening, give yourself time to take in where you happen to be at.  Think about where you want to be and how far you have come on that journey.  Provide yourself some moments to celebrate all that you have accomplished and the fact that you are still here.  As we get older, we have less people to tell us how well we are doing.  Therefore we need to develop mechanisms to enable that positive reinforcement to foster our continuous development.  Time travels very quickly and the days flow faster into months, while the years continue to accumulate behind them.  Don't miss the opportunity to stop and think about what you have accomplished in your life.  Give yourself those personal moments and have your own celebration of where you are today.   The measure of abundance in our lives can be counted in small increments.  Allow yourself to bask in the abundance of your daily life.
