Mid Life Celebration’s post today made it sound like everyone can make an endless list of things to be grateful for.
You agree with this right?
It dawned on me that there might be a chance some of us could feel this isn’t true.
You have a device to read this from
You have internet connectivity
You have eye-sight to read
You have time to read
You have hands to type
You have a body that removed itself from your bed
You have a bed
You have a dwelling
You have a roof over your head
You have heat and cool air at your command
You have running water
Your water is clean
You have an indoor toilet
Your toilet works
You have toilet paper
You have the gift of today in front of you
You have no one to tell you what to be grateful for
You live in a first world country
You are able to bath yourself
You have a washer and dryer to maintain clean towels
You may not like your job, but you have a job
You have things in your job that are worth doing
You have paved roads to get to work
You have infrastructure like traffic lights, stop signs, greenways, sidewalks, pedestrian crosswalks, police, speed limits, tow trucks, gas stations, even car washes, school crossing guards, etc, etc.
You have a mind, a body, a spirit, a job, and a home
You have a device which can access all the world’s knowledge
You have a bed to sleep in tonight
You have this same list tomorrow, and the day after that too
You have the ability to think as a responsible adult
You have the ability to help others everyday, all day – sharing a smile is a simple example

In business leadership, there’s a strong case for focusing only on your core strengths and not trying to get better at your weaknesses – instead, hiring people who are good at what you’re not.
In spirit, my core strength is the story of a baby born in a manger.
While i’d feel better about myself if i knew more about other religions, i’ll leave those details to Google.
All religions are different doors to the same house.

A person, like me, can simply appreciate the big picture: that everyone who celebrates Faith, Hope, and Love can practice with whatever origin story they wish.
We, after all, live in the same house – Earth.

The ability to walk, bike, or if the weather is dangerous (lightning), drive to Disney University and visit is a simple blessing that is never lost on me.
Never.
Another blessing that doesn’t seem so, is the ability to slow down time – to a pace where blessings are visible, and a bit overwhelming, actually. (csn-txt photo from dining hall. thx)
