hmmm.....

Hmmm…..

            Eleven State Pension Funds might run out of money – that’s what the news is today. Only 11?  In this economy, I would have guessed 50.  Everyone seems to be either out of money or very close.  It might be  a good time to write about abundance.
            I remember a time when my daughter was about 2 or 3.  We were living in a converted barn, I was out of work and the child support was $60 a week.  We stayed alive on government cheese.  One beautiful autumn day, much like the day today, we went to Will Rogers State Park in Claremore, OK, to visit his museum. It is housed in a mansion-like building that my daughter loved.  The grounds were littered with fallen leaves and my daughter and I shuffled thru them enjoying the day.  Suddenly, she fell to the ground threw heaps of leaves up in the air and nearly shouted, “Mom, God gave us all these beautiful leaves, and a fairy castle, we’re rich!” And to her, at that moment, we were.  We had each other, a beautiful day and all the time in the world.

            Hmmm……
