A simple wish.
That you get all you ever wanted.
But please be careful.
Be careful what you wish for.

Just Yesterday
Do you reflect back on the last 24 hours and sort through the events that happened in your life?
You know, to evaluate what was great, good and just okay?
What if you did?
Or, if you are doing this, why do you do it and what keeps you doing it?
Each day is an opportunity to do great things – great things for ourselves, our friends, our families, and especially all those people less fortunate.
Just yesterday, I was blessed beyond measure. Thank you God for your Grace, your mercy and your never-ending love.
What Else?
What else do I feel guilty about?
- Decent Health
- Great Job
- Great Hometown
- Great Spirit
- Hold on, this is getting awkward
Sorry, I’m going to need more time to think this through. It’s awkward.
If I go with a gut instinct right now, it feels like the reason this topic got started in the first place was because I feel so blessed.
I mean, more than any one person deserves.
“And you feel guilty about this?”, someone reading this is asking.
But the blessings listed here and the others not listed, are the blessings we all have.
I guess, as I write this it becomes clearer, there’s something about the way I structure each day that allows me to be nearly fully present every moment of every day.
It’s almost like an addiction. I think about it all the time.
Being able to walk, think, read, smile, drive, teach, eat, breath, love, cry, laugh, get dressed, spend money, go to Church, have friends, Family, a job, sunrise, sunset, sight, hearing, desire.
Where does it stop? It doesn’t. Our blessings are infinite.
I can’t be the only one on the planet that thinks like this, can I?
The Joy of Living
The Joy of Living is one of the most elusive of all endowments.
Why? Just watch a child and you’ll find your answer. Having a child (9-year old boy) in our home is a daily reminder.
We all, at least I do, need daily reminders of this simple fact, don’t we? Why? Because life is hard, especially in today’s challenging and uncertain world.
Every day is an opportunity to count our blessings. Anyone need a calculator?
I Don’t Know How to Start
A lifetime of learned behaviors. Life is hard. And mostly difficult. And busy. And distracting.
Some days, maybe while watching a movie or TV show, we see a Family that seems to have it all together and wonder why we can’t live like that.
It’s a movie, okay? It’s not real. Yet perhaps there’s some compromise between what’s portrayed in books and movies, and what is our current reality.
Maybe. maybe not.
I’d like to find out.
