I'm Counting My Blessings

     Something a friend said resonated with me today.  He said that he's grateful for the people in his life.  How awesome it is to appreciate people and not  take them for granted!
    Tonight I am grateful too, for the amazing family I have, my wonderful friends, my beloved pets, and the fact that I woke up this morning. (There are many that didn't.)  I'm grateful to have good health, a roof over my head, food to eat, and a job! I live in a country where I am free!  Life is good! 
    Tonight I am beginning a new phase in my life.  I am counting all of my blessings.  Every night before I go to sleep, I'm going to think about all the things I'm thankful for.  I'm going to focus on all the good in my life and all the wonderful things that happened today.  By focusing on the good, my good will increase, and I will have even more to be thankful about.  
     What are you thankful for today?
