Blessings

count your blessings
name them one by one...

blessings are new each morning

did you take the time to notice?

they are there

 whether you are

a 

young child 

a teen trying to fit into the world

a struggling college student 

a married couple

a frazzled mama trying to

do it ALL

or 

someone with some 

years and experience 

behind them!

Blessings are there

Beauty

and 

Joy

are there

It

surrounds us

each and every day

if you take the time to notice:

snow-tipped mountains

green grass

sunshine bursting through the windows

giggles from a small child

brightly colored flowers

a cat curling contently on your lap

a stack of books waiting to be read

birds soaring and singing happily

scenic road trips

impromptu coffee dates

long walks down country roads

trees all a bloom

a favorite song on the radio

clean sheets on your bed

smiling faces
strolling through a garden
the happy sound of children's laughter
going for a run
or simply

holding hands

oh, yes

the blessings are there

the beauty of it all

is there

sometimes we are just so

busy

that we don't take the time

to notice it;

to see the good 

the beauty of today 

is yours.

sit. savor. enjoy.

it truly is the little things in life

that all add up,

to something 

beautiful

go ahead count those
blessings

name them one by one!
