Jesus. My sister and the forgiveness of my brother. My last child. Laser surgery for glaucoma of both my eyes, that was sucessful on both. Being able to walk again after losing it on my left side, for years. Getting the ability to read back again after about 8 years gone. A PC that has done what speach therapy would have done, if I'd had it. Getting my last child back from those who took her, safe, and sound. The miracle money that just appeared, to escape abusers. My daughter moving me in with her, in her 20's. Good landlords. A clean home. My last cat. A van. Healing from decades of cystic acne. A doctor putting me out, rebreaking my left foot, and setting with wires. And treating the pain thereof from beginning to cure. Pain management while months of steroid injections into my spine were done by Anesthesiologists. A trip to see my sister after 30 years of estrangement. Holding my perfectly healthy baby at age 42.

Hello, Thank you for sharing!

Often we get so caught up in all that is wrong in our bodies, our lives and our world that we forget to enumerate all for which we are grateful.

I try to keep my mind and heart full of all my blessings, large and small. It crowds out the negative thoughts and makes me more calm.
