Counting my blessings

I woke up this morning and looked up at the roof with my two eyes, and I became conscious of the fact that I had my two eyes and a roof that did’nt leak…
I am blessed !

I looked at the lady lying beside me and wished her a good morning, and I became conscious of the fact that I knew that it was my wife and I knew what day we were. My memory was serving me well and no alzheimer seemed to be looming…
I’m blessed !

I got out of bed standing on my two feet and went to have my usual morning p… usual color, usual smell. And I became conscious of the fact that my stomach, liver and kidney had been working hard, while I was sleeping, and had dealt with the excess fat, salt, sugar, rhum or bubbles that I had ingested the day before. All of my body « waste management systems » were functional.
I am blessed !

After my shower I needed to pass the underpants and pants test… put them on with nothing to lean or sit on. I didn’t stumble nor tumble so I passed the test.

So let us enjoy whatever blessings we have,
and may yours be plenty all year round
Be blessed!
