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 -

Nathan has not had a hospitalization in over a year.

Lightening bugs are back. They're pretty and they make me feel happy and child-like.

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.

A clean house. I can't help it; it makes me feel peaceful.

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.

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.
