For those who find being alone difficult, start with creating an escape room in your mind, a quiet place to retreat to now and then. Use whatever stimuli you wish - or nothing at all. From there it may be easier to enjoy true solitude. Like others, I need my own time and space to feel centered.
Abundance to me consists of having gratitude for what you have and what you are inside. Sufficiency gets you enough and a bit more. I think it's a matter of attitude and perspective. You are right Lynne when you state that when you take what you have and use it for good - it will expand.
Well states Jon - we need to be more aware of ourselves in order to provide better relationships and service to others. I am NOT a believer in being technologically connected all the time. One-on-one with true listening is needed more than ever.

Material things can be lost. Good memories and experiences are yours to treasure whenever you choose. It truly is little items that make a difference - recognize and acknowledge them. They are the miracles surrounding us all the time.
