Count Our BLESSINGS

Let's start the New Year with things we can be grateful for.  Let's reflect on the things that we've gone through so that we can plan for the future.  Thanking God for the time we have spent with the children and a supportive wife.  The children have grown up so fast, it's unbelievable that so many years has passed.  We still feel like we've just started our lives together.
The realization that we are on borrowed time brings clarity to our lives. We can focus on what really matters and priorities our needs.  
Everything can be beautiful if we do not allow envy, anger and negative things to tarnish our lives.
Through pain and suffering, I learn to be grateful for what I have - good health, mobility, unimpaired sight, fairly good hearing and being able to laugh and smile.
This brings to mind the Greek philosopher Epictetus who said; "He is a  wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoice for those which he has."
