“Not what we have, but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.” Epicurus

Although this a few days late, this is something to keep in mind as the week progresses.  Do you have an abundance of stuff or do you have an abundance of joy?

I usually help coach my son’s baseball & basketball teams & even helped a bit with golf last fall.  He decided to do fall baseball instead of golf this season. I’ve helped here & there when needed, but I haven’t been involved in making any decisions about who plays where and when and what to do about scheduling practice and everything else that goes with coaching.

As such, I’ve been able to enjoy going to the game as a parent and not as a parent and a coach.   Two different perspectives and two different enjoyments.

This is just one example of enjoyment without stuff.  Can you think of moments that bring you joy and don’t include stuff? Start writing them down and start building an abundance of enjoyment. Aroo
