Blessings

In a winter when the weather reporter says, “Chance of sunshine” instead of
“Chance of rain or snow”, I pause to think of blessings:

For strong coffee
Cinnamon toast
Cheerful friends with a zest for life
Stimulating conversations
Projects and goals
Health
Miracle recoveries of the very sick
For strong families focused on values
Laughter
Big sisters
Legos
Unique and interesting grandchildren
First grade basketball games
Good books
Hardworking, creative sons-in-law
For my husband
Caring daughters
Newspapers
New things to learn
Inspiring older people who live with grace
