How interesting!
I have been buying coffee on JD for a long time. I don't need to pay any delivery fees. And they are cheap with the same price as I buy it directly at the store. And yesterday, JD showed me a monthly 4-yuan card saying it could save me more money when I buy coffee. I got it and today, I bought three cups of fresh made coffee. And usually the price would be 8 yuan. But today, two cost 4 yuan, and the left one only needed 2 yuan. No delivery fees as usually. Whoa! The Universal forces, in this case, JD and Cotti-the coffee chain store, are working together to please me, to offer me what I desire with cheaper and cheaper prices. This is absolute my abundance. And it feels interesting and lovely to me.
I like remembering that I like being a happy bargain hunter. I especially like that wonderful bargains automatically find me and please me. I like milking these experiences.
Appreciation of My Life
Re: Appreciation of My Life
Found an Abe clip, not knowing the date, but must be before 2024. The coent really interested me. Abe told a very interesting story, a story I like depicting again in my mind.
When Esther woke up one day, the name Mark Twain appeared in her mind and at the moment, she strongly wanted to buy his book. There were lovely stories about Mark twain happening to her and Jerry many years ago. They read all his books borrowed from their friend and then, they couldnot get his books. Esther quickly searched and found and ordered the books. A friend visited her, and looked at an owl-like iron grate, telling her it's a "wool" or "bull." He just said "owl" in Spanish several times. At frist Esther thought he was saying bull. Some time later, she was in the city and was strongly called to go into a big antique store, and she just walked, walked and walked until she stopped in front of a statue. It's a statue of Joan of Arc. And, for Esther, Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc is the most impressive book written by Mark Twain. Of course, she decided to buy the statue. And the dealer told her that the creator of this statue was pronounced as "Wool", same as her friend spoked that day. Whoa!
I remembered my story of finding Abe. I was greatly benefited by some processed taught by Louise Hay. I found a channel online containing Louise Hay's videos. There I found Esther wearing black suits. I didn't click, because seeing the covers, I thought, "She must be a accountant teaching about finances, huh! " I was not interested in finances, so I didn't watch. Then I watched the movie Secret, and there I saw Jerry and Esther. Esther had a very different dressing style and I didn't recognize her. I just felt, "Whoa! I really like her voice. I really like that she talked about vibration a lot. I especially like the word vibration and what it means. I want to know her more. Who is she?" After some while, I discovered that that person on that channel was Esther, and I started listening to her speeches.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
I had been reminding myself that "I don't care what any other thinks of me. I do not need to explain ANYTHING to ANYBODY."
Interestingly, I met two people whom I might feel a little umcomfortable about within a week. It's like the Universe was saying, "You are lighthearted enough to meet them and notice that you feel comfortable, not feeling that you might need to explain something to them."
My little niece turned into 1 year old and there would be a big banquet in a restaurant. I didn't feel like pre-paving and thinking about certain relatives after repeating those mantras. Because I didn't think that I needed to predict what they were gonna say and how I would reply to them. As the day came, those people were actually not there. And when I saw my high school classmate, I felt that I wanted to greet him, though I didn't need to. So I walked to him and talked to him for a short while, teasing that his hair made him like an artist.
I was happy to see my aunts and my cousins and I deliberately sat with them. I had a good time that night.
I like playing the long game with these mantras and I could see clearly that ANY OTHER/ANYBODY means ANY OTHER/ANYBODY, and I definitely would continually put all people into the category, though that doesn't mean I don't respect and appreciate them. For most, I respect and apprecaite them and like thinking about them. For a few, I would not choose to think about them, but when they come up in my mind or I'm gonna meet them, I would put them into this "ANY OTHER/ANYBODY."
I don't care what ANY OTHER thinks fo me. I do not need to explain ANYTHING to ANYBODY.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
...This happened so often to me!!
At first I felt almost a bit disappointed... Because I couldn't show off my mew wisdom and sovereignty! But not running into contrast at all is so much more fun
Thank you for sharing!!

I understand you but most of the time, I just felt glad because I didn't need waste time in speaking polite but not interesting stuff.Re: Appreciation of My Life
Focus
Here and now, I choose to write about focus. This is most exicting thing I think I can do now, based upon Bashar's way of living life as fully as one can in every given moment.
High quality focus is so important. When I pick a subject of my attention and as much as I can focus there, I forget other stuff which previously were in the backdrop. I read a book for an hour; I was mostly focused there. I did the vibrational work while sipping coffee; I was mostly focused there and felt good. I am now writing about focus and I am mainly focused. And I deliberately made decision to focus upon them and so it became easier for me to draw all the attention upon the specific point of attention. While there was no specific plan, I might lose the control of focus, such after getting out of reading the book, and then stuff like sensations of my body and related thoughts would come up again. And if I don't make the decision to either focus upon them and bring myself into a better feeling place, or change my focus onto another specific subject, the time I spend would be scattered and often not beneficial. Because I might not made clear stable improvement on the former, or I might go for some stuff online which seemed a bit interesting while actually not beneficial like others' rant on some things like a drama or the bad acting of an actor. So really, making decisions or having intentions moment by moment, segment by segment is really important...

Re: Appreciation of My Life
Morning Appreciation:
I was reading A Dream of Red Mansions again. I like the author's writing style. I like that his extremely detailed depiction of where the characters were can easily bring me into a totally new world with unique gardens, architecture and decoration. I was interested in the "complicated" etiqutte in those big families and how different newcomers responded to it. Some would observe quietly what others were doing so that they could follow and didn't sorta lose their face. Some would directly express their amazement and show their inferiority while they may not think so in their mind, they may exaggerate deliberately to please the host... This book is full of useful information about a certain time of the country and history. And one choose the parts one is now interested in.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
All THINGS ARE ALWAYS WORKING OUT FOR ME.
I always have abundant free time to do what I like. I pondered about this and imagined certain situations and re-activated the feeling of this desire and today, one of the imagined situations came ture and so I again fulfilled this desire of having delicious solitude the whole afternoon.
I have a lot of interests. I am learning new idioms/成语 every day and it's fun. I like accumulating and understanding new words and phrases and I expect them to naturally flow out when I write. I am reading A Dream of Red Mansions and watching its TV version. There is extremely abundant beauty in both creations. Those beautiful girls live in beautiful mansions and have really beautiful hair styles, hair pieces, jewelry and clothes. I started reading Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc after hearing Abe talk about it; at least I can enhance my Engligh by the reading. I like walking outdoors at night, accompanied by music, natural elements and street views. In the middle of the walking, I often listen to Abe. And then I buy coffee and sometime also snacks on my way home.
I can easily find music and stories to enjoy. I am glad that there are unlimited songs and stories waiting for me to enjoy every day.
I like writing. I enjoy the whole process of writing. I like the process of exploring--I explore my present preferences of writing; I explore characters, unique situations, twists and turns especially delightful surprises, etc. I like deliberately learning and accumulating new words, phrases, idioms and useful information. I like thinking and writing out the new chapter. I like the extremely smooth writing, which is inspired writing. I like the fact that writing causes me to focus, refreshes my mind and energizes my body.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
I love where I am...
I love where I am, because:
It is safe, neat, wonderfully managed, beautiful, convnient and comfortable. Life is extremely convenient here. In the morning, I like ordering a cup of fresh made coffee on my phone and within 20 - 30 minutes, it will arrive at my door. Most of the activities I love are being done on electronic products such as computers and laptops. So I am glad that I have abundant of them. Now that I have been writing a lot, I am glad that my typing speed on my phone gets faster and from time to time, I would write my novels on my phone in places like shopping malls. So I can write what I love almost wherever I am in this city--in the cafes, parks, shopping malls and sometimes empty restaurants or diners after I finish the meal.
I like walking outdoors and often I walk after supper. There are different routes for me to enjoy the long walk. I may walk along the wide river. I may walk on the central street. I can take a walk in a new disctrict where new tall buildings erect. I enjoy the different natural views of four seasons--spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Having four seasons has its unique charisma, especially that where I am has been the subject of lots of poets in history. I can easily get what they were saying especially when I stand or sit along the river.
The outdoor air is fresh, and the streets and alleys are always clean. Spaciousness is everywehre and most of the time, people of an appropriate number are walking around to enhance the desired unique atmosphere of human societies--not too crowded, not too lonely.
Every day, I easily see harmony and love in the family. My parents care about and support each other. I notice that taking care of babies can be a beneficial thing for all people related, though I have much shorter patience to take care of and play with the baby. And I am glad that I don't need to spend long time doing so, for there are enough loving adults. For I have perfect timing. When I am with her, I feel good and she feels happy. We enhance each other. She is cute, beautiful, funny and robust. She does things out of intuition. And her body is so well tended to by Source.
I love stories and I feel blessed that enjoying stories is one of the easist things in this time and space. I have access to unlimited stories of infinite themes and feels. I can watch unlimited movies and dramas of HD on my computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablet. I also have a projector to watch them on the wall in the evening if I want to. When I watch them, I also deliberately update my present preferences on subjects like relationships, etc. I have the vip of several streaming platforms. And baidu netdisc app allows me to store and enjoy videos, audios and e-books wherever I am and I directly listen to Abe on it.

Re: Appreciation of My Life
Family
We had the meal together, after the supper, my nephew got the hpone from his father and went into my room and played his favorite game. He feels best when playing game in this room whether I am sitting next to him or not. He couldn't stop talking as he was playing though there was no one listening. He laughed from time to time. His little sister loved him dearly and every time I show her his picture, she would immediately giggle and called him dada instead of gege--the pronunciation was not clear now. My brother lost interest in buying new clothes for himself but was passionate about buying sneakers for his son. Especially those fit for playing basketball. They spend time together a lot--my brother drives my nephew to and from school, and to the basketball training center after school on a daily basis. On holidays, he and my sister-in-law would take their son out for fun in different places. My brother has been a loving father all along.
Lovely and warm-hearted interactions
I have been watching two travel vlogs, for the beauty of nature and cities, yes, but more for the interactions between the vloggers and the local people. Both of them are very open-minded, kind, allowing and outgoing. They like initiating conversations with the local people and would often get invited to have meals with them in restaurants or in their houses. And in so many cases, people just give them food and snacks; but often they exchange food and snacks. Kids would come to them, asking them a lot of questions, singing and dancing for them, and passionately inviting them to their houses. They keep asking questions out of curiosity and most people are so willing and happy answering them. I can see clearly how positive attraction works in relationships when one holds this kind of attitudes.
The young man came to an fresh green alpine meadow with his German shepherd and golden retriever where a new white yurt is being set. He talked to the owner and he took him in and a bunch of people were digging to make a traditional geothermy system so that they could keep warm this cold place. Then he was invited to an old, fully functioning yurt. The burning sheep manure under the soil warmed up the whole house and the couple insisted the young man take his shoes and sit on their bed. And they treated him tea and local snacks. They played withi his dogs. After a while, rain visited, creating unique, satisfying sounds in this remote meadow, and he fell into sound sleep. And when he woke up in this stranger's yurt, he heard laughter for his new friends were still talking with each other and playing with the German shepherd and golden retriever.
Thriving economy, business, etc.
I went to a familiar restaurant. I flet glad that it becames more and more popular. This time, the owner or the manger was there, busy doing all kinds of things. He was not supervising the cook or waiters; he was taking the order, talking to the customers and cook, and cleaning up the table. I thought that he was busy and satisfied. And the whole space was almost full. I knew that his state of being was extremely important to thriving or not of this restaurant. And it's such a wonderful reminder of Abe's words about the relationships between sales and people's love for the restaurant/shop/business and people visiting it whether they spend money or not. I remembered that when Abe talked to a shop owner who wanted to sell her scupltures in her garden by loving this garden and all the people coming to it whether they buy it or not now. Instead of sending the vibe of urgency or neediness, get relaxed and loving and letting the positive attraction created by the appreciation naturally call and get the appreciators and buyers.
