Everyday Blessings

When we are in pain or afraid, it’s darn near impossible to give thanks for anything. But humor me for a minute, you have nothing to lose. As you go through the day be aware of all the people and things you encounter and find something about each for which you can be thankful. Wake up: give thanks for a bed, sheets, pillow, roof over your head, walls around you, floor underneath you and all the people who made those things. Bathroom: give thanks for running water, toilets, hot water, sinks, showers, towels, and toilet paper. Have breakfast: give thanks for food and the people who grow it, cups, dishes, silverware, refrigerators and stoves and the people who work in power plants. The possibilities are endless. What are your everyday blessings?
