Counting my blessngs

A woman called today to order a planter as a gift for her dad for Father's Day. Both of our fathers were born in 1926, and coincidentally, the woman and I share the same birth year. Both of our mothers are living also. We are so very lucky to have our parents for all these years. So many people have lost their parents when they were young. My husband and I are still together after many years and though he exasperates me at times, really through no fault of his, it's more processing issues, I am very fortunate. Many of my friends are widows. I have been given so many blessings--children, pets, home, career, spiritual life, physical activities, nature and warm happy memories. All my needs are met. Not to say that everything is perfect and that at times I am not anxious. However, I am most grateful for all the blessings I have received.
