As I’ve mentioned before, I love to read blogs. In all honesty, I think it is satiating the need to read books, which I haven’t been able to do since the baby was born. I loathe being interrupted and well, babies don’t much give a damn about that.
So as I was reading today, I was inspired by a couple of my fellow bloggers to count my blessings. First by Jaime, whose blog is primarily about her premature daughter, Molly. Her post today was especially inspiring to me. I encourage you to check it out. Next, I was inspired by Anna, who posted that she was having a generally bad day, until she decided to be positive.
That said, I’m going to count my own blessings and share them with you.
- My family is healthy.
- We have everything we need. We aren’t hungry or cold or homeless.
- I am married to the love of my life and we have a great relationship.
- Husband is driven and ambitious. I love that about him. School is going very well for him.
- I have plans for this weekend that include hanging out with my friend P and my mom.
- The baby slept great last night and during today’s nap. He’s being good so far today, too.
- I am learning to knit and have a pretty decent supply of yarn. And with my golden birthday coming up soon, I’m certain I’ll be able to indulge my yarn lust!
- We are having Thanksgiving tonight. Sure, football isn’t on, but it will be soon!
Huh. We are having Thanksgiving tonight. How appropriate! Life is good. Photos sure to follow.

Thanks for checking out the blog!
Had to spread comment love so this is perfect as I LOVE Thanksgiving (I could totally be a vegetarian, if not for my undeniable love of all things TURKEY!) … my mouth is totally watering. I may do a mini-thanksgiving soon (we buy a breast and have the butcher shop cut it in half thereby it’s a perfect din-din).
And I too am long overdue for counting blessings - should do it more! Really should!
My girls are 7 and soon to be 6 and book reading (other than reading to them) is very limited. I get audiobooks from my local library and listen while in the car - it works for me.
Bless you and yours!
Blogger friends are definitely worth a blessing count!

Great blog post! We all need to take a look at what we have, not what we don’t have. Thanks for the post.

You make a very good point. We are all blessed in so many ways and too often take it for granted. Thank you for the reminder.
