There Are Days . . .
There are days when everything seems just a little bit harder and the blessings seem farther away. But those are they days when we should focus on them the most.

I have a family that loves me and supports me even in my craziest dreams.

I have a way of making a living that hasn't (yet) been affected by the craziest government.
I have brains and the power of my words, and the growing courage to speak them.
I have a body that still functions well, although I need to take better care of it.
I have a home filled with warmth, comfort, memories and love.

I am surrounded by love in a world that sometimes feels overloaded with hate.

Some days are harder than others. Some days you just want to crawl back into bed and hide from the chaos and the craziness. Some days you want to cry.
But even the ability to do those things and survive, is a blessing.
That's what I need to remember.
What do you need to remember today?
