I am so blessed

In order to keep my mind in a positive light, stop thinking about the negativity, and try not to let OTHERS make me negative, I decided it was important to list out all the things I am blessed with. I’ve done this before….but in a moment of “down time” when irritations, aggravations and some negativity are beginning to eat away at me I know this is what I need to do to bring myself out of it.


Maybe you can make your lists too and share them with others, and me, and we can help each other out?

These are in no order other than just how it pops into my head. The list may be missing some things…I can always add to it….
