No cheating, now - one at a time. Why? Because, as a culture we are sadly lacking in the act of savoring and delighting in the simple and complicated blessings of our lives. So add your blessings - but just one a day, perhaps, and let your mind and spirit really embrace all the different ways that one blessing has affected you and those around you.
Okay? Cool -
Here's mine (and thanks to CT's 30's clique thread for getting me thinking):

I let my little brother hold my replica Dragonheart sword when my Dad brought him over today. He thought I was the coolest person in the world.

edit: Doing this reminds me of our family's dinner tradition. About a year ago our son started becoming very negative, so we made the rule that every night at dinner each person has to say 2 good things about the day. Our guests that come over love it.

I walked away from an accident on Sunday that totalled my car. It reminded me that life is a precious gift from God.
Posted by Lissande (Member # 350) on :
A sunset so overwhelming that life can be nothing but beautiful, reminding me of all the other ways my life is blessed.
That was yesterday.
Today, as every day, I give thanks for the only person I know who makes me better than I am.

A job that keeps my son and me decently fed, clothed, housed and with adequate medical coverage.
