Have You Seen a Blessing Today?

A friend proposed this thought to me. Have you been a blessing or seen a blessing or been a blessing to anyone today? Well, maybe. I've prayed for some and thought about some. Maybe there was a blessing in there somewhere. I got blessed today by someone else who shared and loved and included me.

Now I get to remind people who read this that these blessings are all around us everyday and all we need to do is accept them. The work is already done. All that's left is just to receive and be thankful. Thank the one who blessed you and thank God for that one and pass it on. If you don't see a blessing in your life, then you get to start the chain. Bless someone else and start the ball rolling. How they pass it on is their opportunity to participate. Be a blessing to someone today!

Cheer Up!

I'm old now so I thought I'd try to modify my posts to accommodate my strength and endurance. I can write more if I make them shorter and less taxing on this old mind and body. Here goes:
Cheer Up! For Heaven's sake, quit being so negative. Look on the bright side. There is bound to be a good attitude in there some where. Do you remember being 30? That was a great time. Still had a lot to do. Kids were growing up. There were things to accomplish. We had some great times. Now I remember them with joy.

What about 50? It was good too. I was more settled. But I had a new job, and I enjoyed it, too. Kids were doing good. Frank was well. Yeah like Sinatra said, "That was a very good year,"

70? Well it wasn't bad. I made it through. We did have some tough times, but we made it. We did what we had to. All in all, I've had a good run.

Going on 80. Getting real close, but I'm still having fun, still know who I am and what my goal is and still making the effort. Cheer Up! The end is just ahead, and it looks like I'm gonna make it.
