Always Count Your Blessings

 

One never knows when our time is up on this planet.  This is why I feel it is so important to Count Your Blessings! 
We don't know what life has in store for us.  At any given moment we may be breathing our last breath.  I have a strong belief that when it's your time to leave this earth plane, no matter where you are or what you are doing, your soul will depart from your earth bound body.  But the same is true when it's NOT your time.  No matter what tragedy happens to you, if it's not time for you to depart, you will survive.  We will wonder how we were able to live through what we thought was the last page in our book of life.  I feel it a blessing to accept, grow from and be thankful you are given a second chance in life to shine.
Please give the ones you love an extra hug for me today.  We never know if that hug will be our last.

Where ever your Saturday, August 2nd leads you, please be grateful and thankful you are living and breathing.  Always remember, No matter how bad you have it, there is always someone else who has it worst.

What Are You Thankful For This Thanksgiving?

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!

Do you need one day a year to show your gratitude or are you like me, and are grateful not only on Thanksgiving, but everyday?

I am grateful each and every day I awake in the morning. At times, life isn't easy, but it is how we adjust to, and change what ever is creating waves in our normally tranquil lives.

I am thankful that my husband is in my life. Two years ago, he was in the hospital undergoing a quadruple bi-pass as well as a pace maker, defibrillator placed to help him survive. Our lives changed dramatically the month he was in ICU. We have both accepted and moved forward since then. We both view life as a gift and take nothing for granted.

Be thankful for small favors.
Be thankful for small miracles.
Be thankful for what you’ve got.
Be thankful to be alive.

What are you thankful for?

Where ever this Thanksgiving leads you, take time and count your blessings, be thankful.
