I could go on forever trying to count all my blessings,
because everything that happens is literally a blessing, good or bad. This list
serves as a reminder that I have so much. Some of them are things I take for
granted on the daily or just things I forget that make me happy. Hopefully,
when I am down I can reread this list and remember that life is full of beauty,
even in the pain. Maybe this list of 50 things can
help spark a few of your blessings in your life and that can in turn bring you
joy. So without further ado, here’s mine.
