Count Your Blessings Monday

It's a bit difficult to count my blessings each Monday, simply because there are so many and I never know which ones to choose..if I listed them all, the list would grow into a book.
I have to think about today, how it started, and consider the thoughts of the last week, take into account the events that have taken place in the past few days and draw a list from these things.
Our family is blessed, richly blessed.
the blessing of love, acceptance and compassion.
the blessing of kindness by friends, and loved ones.
the blessing of joy and happiness, the deep kind, the kind that carries you through any rough sea.
the blessing of the written word.
the blessing of self expression, art forms and language.
the blessing of good mental health, you never realize that until you encounter someone who suffers from emotional problems.
the blessing of hope and dreams of the future.
the blessing of children.
the blessing of meditation and prayer.
the blessing of natures gifts.
the blessing of the seasons.
the blessing of hand holding and kisses, long walks with the one you love.
the blessing of a good marriage.
the blessing of health and vitality.
the blessing of moonlit nights and glow in the dark stars on our bedroom ceiling, yes we have them in our rather formal bedroom !
the blessing of imperfection.
the blessing of spontaneity.
the blessing of breath and heartbeats.
there are so many more, but suffice that to be enough on this evening.

There truly is so much to be thankful for, if we are willing to look around us. Thanks for taking part. By the way, I love your Goodwill finds.
