Abundance in the Air

Over the last week, Damien and I have been taking Christmas Bell, one of the Australian Bush Flower Essences. The essence itself relates to manifesting abundance, and I've been curious to see what sort of abundance we would start to manifest.

Well some little things had been shifting here and there, but today was full of events. This morning the kids had soccer at the Life Be In It centre, so we headed for the bus. We were late for the first, so jumped on the second. Damien realised we needed two tickets, and mentioned that to the driver, who asked how many of us were travelling. After abit of discussion the driver said, to just get one ticket and used it as a family pass, and if we were questioned later to pick up a second ticket. So that was that and we went to soccer.

After soccer we chatted with some friends, and headed off to get the train to our niece's birthday party. Along the walk we bumped into a lady we met last year, that we'd not seen since I was pregnant last year. We chatted for a while, and she offered us a plant from her garden. We were now a little late for the train and rushing to make it, which we luckily did. Just as we approached the station, that gates went down for the cars, and we ran up in time.

We had a nice time at our niece's 1st birthday party, eating cake, playing,etc until it was time to catch a train back. At the platform there was a Sheikh gently singing- it was very beautiful, though I didn't understand a word. When the train arrived we sat next to a group of noisy men from Penola, who were off to see Judas Priest. They were really friendly and lovely so we chatted to them the whole way, with one giving Willow advice on how to deal with mean people at school- they had been discussing why she was homeschooling. There was also a big sing-a-long of the Tigers theme song with the train driver participating by pulling the horn! It was hugely funny. When we got off the train, everyone waved to the guys, and the driver who waited for the kids to finish saying goodbye.

So at this point it's a bit late and we're off at Goodwood station, and we decide to wander up Goodwood Rd, to see if there's anywhere good for takeaway. After a bit of a walk we decide to get pizza at Savelli Brothers. We'd meant to try them before as the idea of quality made pizza to bake at home appealed to us. We ordered two, and were chatting away to the guy about quality of food, diet and ingredients whilst he prepared our dinner. It was quite entertaining and relaxing. At one stage he went off to get some oil, and was telling us about his truffle oil he'd been infusing, and that it was a secret recipe. Damien and I were both amused as we'd recently watched French Leave and there was an episode with truffles, so we'd been thinking about using them in food.

By now we were heading home with our pizza, and I remembered that there was $5 in my pocket left over from the show. I was thinking about what an interesting and amazing day we had when I thought I should offer the universe my $5, so I gave it to someone's letterbox. I hope it brightens their day.

And just to finish....................Thankyou!
