Think About Your HAVES Not Your HAVE-NOTs!
Life is not perfect, but if it was, how boring would that be? There would be no lessons learned and no need for blessings to be counted…what a loss that would be! This economy is hitting most of us hard and it’s difficult not to worry and be angry-my husband and I are good, hard working people. We pay our bills on time and live within our means. Yet like many, we sometimes struggle to make ends meet. However I’ve found a sliver of a silver lining. It makes you appreciate the HAVES in your life a whole lot more. Here are mine:
I have a wonderful husband who loves me and a strong and happy marriage.
I have a group of friends who are just the most terrific and extraordinary people I’ve ever met.
I have a clean, warm apartment and a kitchen full of food.
I have a cat who gives me joy and unconditional love.
I have the luck and good fortune to be making a living doing something I absolutely love.
I have good health.
I have a clear conscience and an open mind.
What are your haves?
I leave you with this:
“I complained I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.”
Count your blessings, look for that silver lining and give thanks for your HAVES! 🙂

Savor The Moment..
Savor…
The softness of a cat’s fur
The warmth of a ray of sunlight
The comfort of a cool breeze on a warm night
The love of your friends and family
The  gift of being given a brand new day every morning you awaken
The joy of a hug
The gentle murmur of the rain
The words “I love you”
The music of a songbird
The simple pleasure of a good book
The gift of being able to chose what you’ll have for supper tonight.
The comfort of a warm bed.
The sound of laughter.
Your fully stocked fridge and pantry, your warm bed, and your clean clothes.
The talents God has given you.
Don’t take a single moment or blessing for granted!
SAVOR LIFE and all it’s gifts!
