the only thing better than having a citrus tree in your yard..
.. is your neighbor having one that hangs over the fence!
I had planned to say something about 'abundance' to go along with this image. Seems like a really great example of the abundance of nature and life in general, doesn't it?
Maybe I was looking in the wrong places for a good quote, but they all sounded like they were out of one of those seminars where people pay thousands of dollars for someone to tell them how amazing they are, and that they 'deserve' prosperity and abundance..
Personally, I have no problem 'accepting abundance' - but that may be because I'm not wallowing in it. Don't get me wrong - I feel blessed to have been rewarded for the hard work I've put in over the years. But I do feel that I have earned everything I have, and I am pretty particular about the charity I choose.
Which is why nothing disgusts me more than the waste and fraud that our 'entitlement' programs are drowning in. It takes food and shelter out of the mouths of those who truly deserve and need it.
Like the guy standing with the cardboard sign at the traffic light that says "Hungry - will work for food - God bless". Except that they aren't (hungry) , they won't (work), and I hate seeing a fraud tugging on the heartstrings of honest, but naive drivers.
These frauds eventually harden the hearts of those naive, loving people, when they watch them carefully fold up their intentionally mis-spelled cardboard signs and put them in the trunk along with the worn clothes that hint at being a down on his luck vet.
If Karma really is a bitch, they are in for a really bad day someday.
