Counting your blessings

Message 2359 of 8635

It's hard to believe, but in a couple of weeks many of us will be celebrating Thanksgiving with family and/or friends.

The holiday season sometimes is a mixed bag for me for several reasons, but I always try to be philosophical and during solitary moments, reflect on my blessings.

Personally, I am tremendously thankful for being in good health, being employed and having a wonderful "support group" whose love and encouragement is truly a gift.

Please take a moment and share with us, if you will, what you are most thankful for not just during the holiday season, but each and every day of your life!

I live each day in gratitude. I am grateful for the good and the bad that happens each day. It is part of being in balance. I am grateful for good health, my home, family and friends and life in general.
I am grateful.

To repeat annie, first and foremost I am grateful to be a child of God, my family and friends, being born and raised in this country where I am free to worship my Lord anytime, anywhere, and in my way. Good health, and quite frankly for my finances being as they are.

I am thankful for my son, brother and the parents who raised me. I am thankful for the gift of true love and a good marriage. I am very thankful this year for my good health and my good fortune. I am thankful always for a career that satisfied and granted me security in my retirement years. I am grateful to be an American, free to speak my mind, vote my beliefs and worship God in my own way without fear or retaliation.

I am thankful for my healthy and productive children, my father, my healthy grandchildren. Beyond that, I am thankful for my career, my beautiful little home, my crazy cat, for having a good brain, and knowing a forgiving and loving God. And I am even thankful that I was in the right place at the right time to manage this group....cat herder though I may be. And somewhere in the mix, let's add gratitude that almost two years ago I was found to have cancer, but that it was found in time to be fought, and for me to have more time on earth to live, laugh, and love.
