I will play fair and follow the rules. 1. 267 Sacred Heart the swirling of the colors entwined with the goldstone makes my heart swell. 2. Moonlight Trellis the meandering of the the branches and sprinkling of the delicate flowers reminds me of the twists and turns of my own life with its unexpected jewels of joy. 3.

The mental pictures of you just make me giggle.<br />How hard is it to list 3 things that make me feel abundant. My entire life has been filled with abundance.

I thought that was an awesome idea.<br />3. Sugar Egg<br /><br />Now, three things that make me feel abundant. <br /><br />1. My husband, my beautiful children, my absolutely gorgeous grand-children, my sisters, brother, mom and dad, in-laws. In a word family! What could possibly be more important than that? <br /><br />2. My friends.<br /><br />3. The strength that God gave me to come back from cancer at the age of 27. I never thought that I would see 40.

I would love any of them,but selected these three:<br />Zen Beadist Ring ~ #2.31<br />Lakeside Series Pendant ~ #2.16<br />Gently Down The Stream Ring ~ #2.32<br /><br />The three things that make me feel abundance in my life are firstly of course my children, both boys(young men) and they remind me daily how blessed I am. Secondly, I am greatful that even though one of my sisters has suffered many set backs in her health recently, it has brought us closer and to the realization that even though we had drifted apart..we still love and care for each other and I am happy that I have a second chance to be her big sister. Thirdly, the abundance of support and love sent my way during a trying year personally from people that I thought were only "casual" friends, reminded me that even when I feel alone,I am not.<br />Thanks for reminding me.<br /><br />AnnetteAnnette Chabidonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16838579447325582078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-28365551878677750152010-02-15T08:55:58.002-08:002010-02-15T08:55:58.002-08:00Since I always love everything you do, it's ha...Since I always love everything you do, it's hard to pick only three but I'll go with (1) Wild Gypsy Lotus, (2) Sugar Egg, and (3) Personalized Treasure Globes.<br /><br />For abundance, again there is so much I'm thankful for it's hard to narrow to three but (1) family and friends I love and who love me in return, (2) warm, comfortable home and enough food to eat and the security of knowing that they are not likely to be lost, and (3) the blessing of having and optomistic nature which seems to always know that even if circumstances seem to be bad, they will change for the better again.<br /><br />Thanks for your wonderful blog too!<br /><br />Polly AnnaPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848626942006325605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7364444313031366135.post-4721412791574054752010-02-15T05:10:26.394-08:002010-02-15T05:10:26.394-08:00Oooops !
