Thirty- One Days of Counting Blessings
Some beautiful moments that would have normally went by unnoticed were:
On the day that I spoke about my blessings basket at meditation, a woman thanked me and told me that was Just what her daughter needed.
I had a conversation with somewhere and they said something that confirmed a hurt that I sort of knew about. I have been working on forgiveness issues revolving around this person that I see intermittently at my seasonal job. Obviously, from the feelings I had after this conversation, I see that more work is to be done and I haven't really achieved forgiveness.......just sort of an acceptance. I will take this as a challenge to continue to work in this area......a blessing

Baby therapy instead of bunny therapy at work this week

Our pastor at Our Lady of the Angels Church gifted each of the parishioners a book called "Resisting Happiness". the other day I read this line: "Everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle and carrying a heavy load." That's no excuse for mistreatment of others but it can help with the forgiveness part of it.
