Blessings....

This seems to be the most popular time of year to count one's blessings. I think blessings are like socks: they come in all sizes, shapes and colors

but, as long as they keep your feet warm, they're good.

At times in my life, I have been short on socks, but never on blessings.

If someone has said “I love you” to you this week,

you are blessed.

If someone has called you today to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving,

you are blessed.

If you need the fingers on both hands to count your close friends,

you are blessed.

If you have a child's drawing on the door of your fridge,

you are blessed.

If you have an oven that works, and there's a turkey in it,

you are blessed.

If you are employed and you have today off from work,

you are blessed.

If you are working today and smiling about it,

you are blessed.

If every chair at your table will be filled at dinner time today,

you are blessed.

If you're alone and eat a turkey TV dinner, with your cat on your lap,

you are blessed.

If there's a little money in your wallet, and food in the fridge,

you are blessed.

I could go on and on, but you get the idea. I think that, sometimes, we look at the glass as being half empty and our mindset is on what we don't have, instead of what we do have.

Perhaps, in order to HAVE a blessing, you need to BE a blessing.....

I think I'll be a pair of rainbow socks today....

Happy Thanksgiving!!
