Thank you so much for all your caring support….
This such an inspirational message on so many levels. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in the daily routines that fail to really appreciate our blessings. Thank you for sharing this and so many amazing people with us.
Terie´s Last Fabulous Post ..Never stop moving
Terie,
Our blessings….so glad you brought this up. Yes, in our daily living, we can all too easily forget all that we have….and that we truly do have “enough”.
Terie, thank you so much for your support…it means the world to me…
OK Began my morning with tears…that is OK because I am appreciating all I have and THAT is a great blessing!
Have an awesome day and hopefully see you at the Clam Festival!

Hi Dearest Lance,
This is such a wonderful video and and even greater thought. Thank you for sharing it and making my sunday special. I had so missed your Sunday thoughts while I was offline
LOts of love,
Z~
Zeenat,
So good to have you back, dear friend. And there is so much contained within these few words in the video by Bob Perks. Zeenat, I believe that you truly exemplify what these words say…
Big hugs!
Yep! I wish everyone enough!
Jules – Big Girl Bombshell´s Last Fabulous Post ..Wisdom Begins IN Wonder
Jules,
You are sweet! Thank you for all you give!
one of my favorites phrases, a thought worth repeating as a mantra to carry us through the day is, “I am enough.” it creates such ease, don’t you think?
thank you for sharing this lovely person and video. blessings to you this day.
Jan,
“I am enough”. There is something very empowering within those words. And…yes…ease. An ease of moving forward…being okay with who we are…and with life… And that is all very wonderful!
Many blessing to you, too…dear friend…
Like Trish, it’s always a meaningful message when I respond with emotion. I knew with the 3 Hello’s that the Goodbye was coming, something that always pulls at my heartstrings. Bob is clearly a man who knows something about contrasts, which is at the root of our growth. Thanks, Lance and Bob! And I always get so much from everyone’s comments as well, so thanks, everyone. Lance ties us all together! Holly
Holly,
So, so wonderful to have you here, today…and to hear your voice this past week! You are a kindred spirit, and I’m just touched by your presence here. And even more than that – it just feels so right that our paths have crossed in this great big world.
The “goodbye”…that can really be such a difficult thing. I know. And yet…I also believe there is much beyond our earthly presence…and in that, too, there is rejoice. Still, the physical presence gone is something that is emotionally touching at our heartstrings.
Holly, thank you. For your presence here. For the good you bring to the world. For your presence in my life.
Much peace,
Lance
THANK YOU for sharing. I love this part of my Sunday, so I make sure I take the time to sit down somewhere quiet with my coffee and just enjoy reading or listening to whatever you post. The things you share always make me smile and appreciate life just a little bit more. Bless you!

Peace and joy! Wonderful things…for ALL of us! Keith, thank you! And to you…the same, my friend!
Thank you Lance for sharing a beautiful video that reminds us to cherish and appreciate all the things that we might have taken for granted.

And appreciating all that we have…because we truly do have so, so much. Even if that’s different from what our neighbor, friend, etc. might have, it’s still enough. It always is…
Big hugs to you, sweet friend…
Along this same note, if you and I Lance, are lucky enough to have a spouse and three kids, then we are lucky enough. God Bless you today!
Audra,
Family. So good, isn’t it, dear friend! And that can be kids, a spouse, a significant other, friends, parents, etc.
And truly I am lucky enough to call you friend. That is such an honor…
Much peace,
Lance
Hi Lance
I always enjoy hearing this message – thank you for sharing
There are some words that we could really used each day, to remind us that all that we need and all that we are is always available.
Evita´s Last Fabulous Post ..Essential Energy with Cyndi Dale- What’s In My Future
Evita,
Enough. One simple word. And yet – here in this context, so much meaning. A reminder that we, always, have enough. And there is very much a level of peace in that – a peace that touches to our soul…
To you, my friend…much peace always…
I wish you joy, health, peace and tons of love my friend Lance.
Tabitha,
So, so good to read your words. You shine love in such beautiful ways…and I feel that very deeply here today.
Big hugs of gratitude to you, sweet friend…
I look forward to your posts every Sunday — even more than 100 Sunday posts later!
You never disappoint. (I’m also loving the nested comments, Lance).
I want to tell you, “Hello,” enough times so that I’ll never have to say goobye. That’s my goal no matter how unrealistic.
Hi, Lance!

Lori´s Last Fabulous Post ..Your Body is a Fortress- Part 10 – Training for Old Age
Lori,
Well….I’m trying out the nested comments to see how it feels. And…while I haven’t made a decision one way or the other – what I very much feel is that the nested comments feel more personal. So…thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on this.
Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello!
Whatever happens…on this journey we’re on…I know, sweet friend, that you are exactly that. And that…that is enough…
Much love,

So good having you here…and as I think about this, and your words…it’s been an honor to get to know you both here and in person. Your heart shines through brightly. And that is enough…
Much peace,
Lance
I just love it and thanks for introducing me to Bob. It is so true being aware of what we have lists our spirits and more. We then realize how much we have to give.
Suzie Cheel´s Last Fabulous Post ..Are You Ready To Take Action
Suzie,
Ah, yes…that which we have to give. So deep and so wide, it can be…is possible.
Suzie, your spirit shines, and that I believe is you, truly, being fully aware of who you are..at your core. Such a beautiful thing.
Big hugs,
Lance
Thank you so much Lance for sharing my dear friend Bob and his wonderful video, “I Wish You Enough!” He is so genuine and inspiring. This book written by Bob is also available.

? always!
Julie,
Having you here, and your friendship…that is enough. I am so deeply grateful for you, and for your sharing this (and Bob) with me.

J.D. Meier´s Last Fabulous Post ..Top 10 Lessons in Improving Communication
J.D.,
Yes it can be…enough…
Hi Lance .. coming after JD is kind of tricky .. he says just enough .. to be amazingly enough .. encapsulated enough!
That was beautiful .. and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOB .. have a great day .. but more importantly many happy years ahead ..
I loved the part about having enough rain, to appreciate the sun …. so, so true …

Oh Lance, this was beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye! Thanks for sharing it!
Happy Monday!
Natalia
Natalia,
It’s that ending….the hello’s for when we have to say “good bye”. That’s hard. It can sometimes feel like we haven’t had enough “hello’s”. Moments of challenge for us. Still…our time will come…to be re-united. (and that’s a message that’s so good for me to be reminded of…)
Much peace,
Lance
Lovely!
Megan, thank you so much….
Having you here…that is enough…
Peace,
Lance

Jody,
You are sweet…and I see this more as I just continue to know you more deeply. Shine on, sweet friend…
This made me smile and remember how important it is to love enough, those people who are in your heart so that there can be no regrets.
Thank you for sharing this Lance
Marion Anderson´s Last Fabulous Post ..The ONE Lesson I Wish I had Learned Sooner in Life
Hi Marion,
So good to have you here! Love. It’s a very special word…and even more…a very special thing/feeling/action. “Love enough”…wonderful thoughts. Thank you so much for spreading your love…
Lance,
This reminds me of the saying
“”It’s not having what you want
It’s wanting what you’ve got”"
And realising that the pain, the loss is all part of it too and that you need to like those for making you appreciate the good times even more. And sometimes it’s hard. When you loose someone, when something really bad happens. You don’t see the point, the reason why, why me? And yet, everything happens for a reason. And it’s up to us to find out what that reason is for us. Because that is what life is all about.
Thanks for sharing this.
M
Miranda,
Ah…yes, seeing the reason “why”. Why me? Why now? Why. Why. Why. It is hard, and still – there is so much in us being okay with our “enough”…in the good and the not so good. You have said this so, so well…thank you so much. And, Miranda, thank you…always…for being here.
Peace,
Lance
Bob is also celebrating a special birthday in the coming days – birthday number 60! Happy Birthday Bob!!
Happy Birthday Bob!
Hmm, perhaps we should submit our birth dates for a little recognition as well, eh! [grins]

Patrick´s Last Fabulous Post ..Day 86 – Da Numbering
Patrick,
Welcome! It’s great having you here! Jody is pretty awesome – you’re coming this way from one very amazing place! Great to have you here!
Everyone has more than enough. Needs are imagined by the mind to distract people from who they are and their unwavering limitless potential. Move through selective awareness. Ingrained beliefs fall away.
Liara Covert´s Last Fabulous Post ..Practice the Middle Way
Liara,
Yes, we all have enough. When we fully see that, that a beautiful place to be…

Hi Lance,
This is simply beautiful. I’ve heard it before and was so touched by it, whenever one of my siblings and I say goodbye, we also say, “I wish you enough”.
With that, I say to you my friend, I also wish YOU enough.
