Count them

Friends. Food. Water. Children. Pets. Family. Music music music.

Just a few of the things that I put in the blessings category. Being thankful and being un-thankful are both daily choices, moment by moment. Darned if I don't catch myself slipping into a repetitive spiral of thoughts that don't serve me (anymore, perhaps).

A smile cracks and the greater, more calm part of me remembers that I can't fight this current, I can't stay in the old shell, I can't stay put. A deep breath reveals that the blessings continue. Exhale; so lucky. Inhale; so free.
