Ten of today’s blessings (Thursday, 4/10/2014):
- Sunshine;
Ann
- Catching up with
walking buddy Ann;
- Making it to
0.7-mile marker on the Biloxi Bay Bridge pedestrian path;
- After-walk coffee,
tea, conversation and laughter at Coffee Fusion with Ann and my husband Walter;

- Bradley, our excellent
roofer and a fledgling author, stopping by to visit us at Coffee Fusion when he
didn’t find us at home;
- Our big ole burgundy
high-rise van that alerts Bradley (and other friends) of our whereabouts when
they are inclined to make an impromptu visit;
- Re-admission to
occupational neuro rehab therapy for another seven or eight sessions;
- Tales, laughter and
tasty calories for dinner at McElroy’s Seafood Restaurant with Hubby’s siblings
and their spouses; and
- The energy to enjoy
the day’s events from good morning to good night!
Reasons to rejoice
always surround me, but I don’t always acknowledge them. When in such an
unreceptive condition, it takes a conscious choice to invest effort in
recognizing and articulating blessings.
It never fails,
though, that once I start the listing exercise, I become aware of more and more
things to be happy about and thankful for.
This is the day that
the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 ESV
Give thanks in all
circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 1
Thessalonians 5:18 ESV
