Too often I think I don't take enough time to really count my blessings.

Today I have spent some time thinking about how truly blessed myself and my family are. I would like to share just a few, in no particular order:

-I have wonderful friends!

-I have a husband who is magnificent in every way

-While we have health problems, none are very serious

-God has shown how he provides many times over, a perfect example being the tardiness of the banks to file our foreclosure (there is still no action taken against us! We were supposed to be long gone by now.)

-Our wonderful neighbors who are connected to us by garden hose to allow us to have water to bathe and go potty!

-A wonderful mother who is doing our laundry for us so we don't have to pay at a laundromat. She is doing the laundry!! (I think she secretly fears I will break her machine given my history!)

-Loving families

-Sean's sister called him to apologize for something that had caused great tension in the family.

-My kids are adjusting to the school year.

-Gabe's night terrors have drastically lessened!!!

-Jonathan's pulse ox level has risen enough to keep him unhospitalized

-I have reconnected with old friends who have always been a great source of love and support

-I have my tremendous blog buddies who I love dearly and can't imagine not having in my life!

-God is taking care of Carrie's eyes!

-My grandmother's health is improving

-Victoria is having a smooth pregnancy for the most part

I could go on and on and on! It is so easy to see the good things when you look at life with a positive attitude.
