Blessings

"The secret of contentment is the realization that life is a gift, not a right."

I wouldn't be writing this today if my Lord hadn't granted me another day.

I am blessed to have the family that God has given me.
I am blessed by the beautiful sunshine peeking through my window.
I am blessed by the soft music playing in the background.
I am blessed by the special people in my life.
I am blessed by my pets.
I am blessed by my -oh- so comfortable bed, and my warm house, and my car, and, and, and...

There is so much more. Why dwell on what I don't have? I will continue in this thankful mood for a while longer. It is relaxing physically and spiritually. What are you blessed by today?

I am blessed by my friends, a healthy mind, moments of reflection, and the beautiful surroundings we live in.
