I count my blessings. There are so many.
Living in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
A roof over my head that keeps me warm and dry and safe.
Granddaughters that are the joy of my heart.
A lovely garden, and the ability to walk to it and see the growth and change every single day.
Food, electricity, warmth.
The ability to dream.
The unlimited riches of words...the umlimited horizons that words offer to me.
Friends, old and new. Friends, silver and gold.
Kind words on a sad day.
Choices
A husband who loves me in spite of everything.
Loving myself in spite of everything.
The wealth of possibilities.
The potential of tomorrow.
Living my life every single day.
Facing down fear.
Choosing beauty.
Choosing hope.
Choosing to look up at the sky and look beyond the grey clouds.
Choosing joy.

Oh what a beautiful post .... from a beautiful lady ... Enjoy all of the beauty of life!!!
I need to find something to say other than 'great post'! But wait! What's wrong with 'great post' when it actually is?! Choices open up a wealth of possibilities, no?! Love that. Happy New Year!
I could have written the same except I have no granddaughters but a grandson, and I am also living in a land of the free, but can't say if it's also home of the brave. (Probably some are) lol !
Happy New Year to you !!
That´s a lot of great stuff, happy new year! :-)
Add TWO Grandsons and I can say DITTO:) Hugs to you today, tomorrow and into the New Year!
So beautiful, Jenny! And once again you could be speaking for my heart as well! Have a very Happy New Year filled with wonderful things!

Inspiring. It's a daily choice to find good amidst the horrid and hard. Thanks for the pep-talk. And thanks for this song. (Mary did You Know?) It's my favorite Jesus' birthday song.
Tina @ Life is Good
Those are wonderful blessings to remember :)
There you go again...making my face break out...in a huge smile! You inspire me and others each and every day with your attitude and outlook on light. You are truly infectious!
