As I was sitting in my air conditioned living room
reclining in my comfy chair drinking ice water,
I thought about how blessed I am to be retired,
living in this area where I do have a lovely home.
It's too easy to get discontented because we want more,
excitement, communication or stimulation in our lives.
Then you hear of other's health or family problems,
and feel ashamed for being so greedy and lacking gratitude
for the blessings of each day which are abundant:
just the opportunity to breathe in and out easily,
mobility to walk without a cane or crutch is major,
and family to love and care about fills out the list.
Life is GOOD when we look for the BLESSINGS!
