Counting my Blessings

I won't go into too much detail, those of you who know me on a personal level will hear about it if I care to share it with you. I just wanted to say how blessed I am. You don't realize how much God touches your life until something happens to make you sit back and see it. I had been saying 2007 is not my year. There is so much that has happen in my life that for a moment I truly thought I was alone. But I have been blessed more then I realize and last night made me see it. I almost lost my son last night and by the grace of God he came through this. He is ok nothing serious at all. It just that it could of been really BAD. Each day we talk about what is going wrong in our life's, what we don't have, what we wish we had, what could be different, how we hate our jobs, how we dislike this and that, today I see how much I DO HAVE and am taking time out to acknowledge my blessings. I have a loving and caring husband who is doing all he can to show me how much I he loves me and how important he realizes I am to his life, Two sons who show me daily that they love me and what a good mother I must be by them being respectful and wonderful men, I have never had them curse me or be so disrespectful to me, almost on a daily I am being told what wonderful sons I have, and I did a good job raising them ** BIG SMILE**, My bestest friend who always makes me feel good about myself when I am at my lowest, who is the Louise to my Thelma, the Ethel to my Lucy (now if I can only get them to blog), I have a boss who has become a good friend and a mother figure to me, who gives me advice and makes me see things clearly when its cloudy, I have new friends who have joined me in my craziness and accept me for who I am, A few old friends who laugh with me and make me feel appreciated, A job that as bad as I feel it is I at least have it, I talk to old friends who have been out of work for over a year and is really feeling it this time of year, I can go on, and on and name many other things. I have more in my life then most and can say that I am doing ok. You all know Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I love the gift giving, the happy people, the trees, etc BUT sometimes I forget what the day is really about until something makes me open my eyes. Count your blessings people, I did.

Oh BTW this isn't going to make me stop blogging and talking about people or speaking my mind . I am always going to be ME!! Just more grateful. **BIG SMILE *** ROFL

THOUGHT: Maybe I will contact the family members I still like!
