“Count your many blessings name them one by one…”
There are so many blessings to count if I will only look for them.
A few years ago I heard that Oprah, of all people, started each day by writing out three things she was thankful for, so I began to do it myself. It’s amazing what looking for just a few things to be thankful for can do to your attitude, even on the hardest days.
Today, I am blessed…
…with three energetic boys who keep me on my knees.
…with a husband who loves me to the moon and back.
…with a job that I love.
…with friends whom I can depend on.
…with a family who love me and live close.
…with enough.
…with a quiet time place to sit at that makes my heart sing.
..with a gentle rain this morning in June in Oklahoma.
…with watermelon plants just beginning to sprout.
…with warm coffee on my desk.

Thank you for visiting, Joanne! Yes, in the middle of my loud boy jackpot I have to remember there are so many blessings.
Beautifully blessed!
