Earlier this week I was reminded of some of the many blessings in my life.  I also realized how easy it is to overlook these blessings.

A few of the blessings I’m referring to are:

• Friends I can connect and be real with
• Meaningful work I enjoy
• Gifts and talents I enjoy using

I was simply struck this week by the number of blessings in my own life.  When we actually stop and consider how much our lives are blessed, the number of ways is actually more than we likely realized.

Let’s start focusing on (and being grateful for) just how many blessings we have.  Sure, there’s always something we feel we lack, or something more we want.  However, we should never forget just how much we have, and how blessed we actually are.
