I Am So Blessed

I am enthralled with the sheer joy of being alive Finding immense pleasure in living itself [With my age and infirmities to be here at all!] Leads me to believe that God has plans for me That I know little about, but frequently feel, Seeing opportunities to contribute and serve I am passionate about the exquisite beauty of nature, Reliving awesome experiences of a full and happy life, and With wonderful family and friends – I am so blessed!
