How often do you count your blessings?

To continue on answering the Tell cards from Do Tell the Relationship game, I chose the first card I wrote from the Family Version. This one asks, “How often do you count your blessings?”

I’m at a time in my life when I count my blessings ALL the time! I’ve learned that I can either look at what’s not working, or I can make a conscious decision to look at what IS working. From that perspective, life is lovely.  For example, (I’m counting blessings now) I’m lucky enough to be in the same room as my mate, with both of writing together. The light is coming through the window, even though it’s been foggy most of the day. My laptop still works well as does the heater we are using on June 23rd! My kitties are waiting patiently (or at least silently) for their dinner and we have yummy food lovingly prepared by both of us waiting to to eaten at our leisure.

I count my iphone as a blessing too. A BIG one! I don’t use it much as a phone but find that I am loving walking through my life taking photos of what’s right in front of me. For example, here’s a tree on Sacramento street that just amazed me.

I love touching trees and feeling their energy. I know it sounds weird and maybe it is, but another blessing I count is that I do it anyway and don’t worry (much) about what people think of me.

So I can honestly and happily say that I count my blessings many times a day.

How about you?
