Blessed to be feeling well

Blessed to have time to write

Blessed with my family

Blessed to live in freedom

It’s these seemingly little things we take for granted

That affect us so much

They don’t scream at us

They whisper very softly 

It’s when we lose these things

That we notice how important they are

Anytime I want to complain

I ask myself what I’m thankful for

I remind myself of the little things

And listen very carefully
