Countin' My Blessings

That's the title of this painting, and what I've been doing a lot of lately. Counting my blessings.

I was reminded again today how very different my life is this July 4th than it was last year. I won't be watching the fireworks tomorrow with my dad, as I have done so many years in the past. He'll have a much better view of them this year....he told me once how he used to love to fly on the 4th of July so he could watch all the fireworks as he flew over so many more celebrations than any of us could see on the ground.

I was also reminded of my treasured friends, my family and my darling pooch who is always making me laugh. I count them all among my many blessings, and know God is watching over me.

Take a few minutes to think about all your blessings, and be grateful. Things change so quickly.
