Are you Blessed?

Good morning world.  Woke up this morning feeling extremely blessed.  Do you know the feeling?  From my family, my home, the clothes on my back, the food  in my fridge, the ability to walk and talk and hear, to the very breathe I take, I am grateful!

This is not an all the time feeling either, and it should be.  Blessed, content, with all God has given to me.  However, there are those days I am angry about what ever.  Or the martyr syndrome attacks, I have to do everything and no one appreciates anything. Or I will be sad about something.

I was taught (I have not done the research about this yet}that emotions are God given.  What we do with those emotions is our responsibility.  I wrote before about reacting and responding. Responding seems to be the adult way of handling emotions, whether they are positive or negative emotions.

How do you feel this morning?  Are you blessed?  Are you breathing?  You are blessed.  Are you reading this?  You are blessed.  The world is a crazy, mixed up, hard place to be.  However, in my world, I am blessed.

Be blessed and be a blessing,

Just some of my thoughts and actions,

Elizabeth
