I am a blessed person. I have not kept count but I have received many cards and notes expressing sympathies since the death of my father. These many expressions of love have caused me to see how blessed I really am. For me it is too easy to overlook what is right before me.
When I am blind to the goodness all around me then my life becomes unbalanced. This can cause me to become more pessimistic than realistic. But what bothers me most is that I miss out on the good in life and lose some of the joy of living.
I want to live life to the fullest. I don’t want to waste a minute being miserable. I have already wasted too many minutes. So, these words are written for me. May I continue to see how blessed I am.
