Counting My Blessings

Counting my blessings makes me feel good. It reminds me of all the wonderful things I have in my life. Even if I do not take the time to write them down, counting my blessings is something I do every day.

Some of the blessings I am counting this week are:

  • My job – I love my job! Having a job like this is something I have dreamed about for the last couple of years.
  • School – I love school! I love the homework, the challenge, and all the things I am learning.
  • Better A1C test results – My A1C – the test that measures how well my blood sugar is controlled – was 8.5 on the last blood work I had. It is still a little too high, but when compared to the results I had when I was still on Effexor – 11.5 – I think the results are great!
  • A vacation to look forward to – I am so looking forward to the cruise to Alaska. It has been a long time since I have been on a vacation, or even wanted to go on vacation.
  • A comfortable place to lay my head at night – I always feel blessed that I am where I am and that I have a place to call home.
  • Counting My Blessings

    Counting My Blessings (formerly know as Thankful Five) is something I like to do to remind myself of all the wonderful things I have in my life.

    Some of the blessings I am counting this week are:

    • Our backyard – even in a subdivision there are many birds who visit our backyard. Just sitting out there you can hear a wide variety of bird songs, and chatter
    • My mother – she is an incredible person, who is strong, and caring. She has had a very difficult last few months, but she is getting through it.
    • College – I am loving the challenge that college is presenting me.
    • Truth – when someone takes the time to tell me the truth about myself – with love and respect – it means a great deal to me.
    • Music – I have been listening to more music lately, and I am enjoying it.
