Blessings Realized~





They are personal to each one...

                                                           finances....

                                                                              relationship...

                                                                                               healing inside or out...

peace of mind....

                              a song...

                                                  an uplifting word....

                                                                                       chimes blowing in the wind...

a lovely picture...

                               a warm hug...

                                                     a smile from an enemy...

                                                                                            wet kisses from a child....

                  Giving ....
                       
                                      sharing a friend's burden....

                                                                                  harmony....

                                                                                                            the quiet...


              I am overwhelmed by the goodness that I call my life.


I haven't always appreciated these simple things. I have often wanted
bigger things. Selfish things. Through loss, I have learned.
And gained. How is this possible?

By losing peace, I have come to understand the blessing of peaceful times.
In losing a friend, I have to come to treasure the gift.


To see a blessing, I have had to change my perspective.
And instead of wanting more, I have learned am learning to see through
different eyes. The eyes of the my heart see. Finally.
Truly see.











Thankfully, I have not had to lose everything
to understand the
richness of this life that I live and love.

During this last week before Thanksgiving,
I pray that more and more
I will see with my heart the preciousness of all
that I have been blessed with~
 
And then, that I would never forget.

A true blessing indeed.
