Many Ways I Am Blessed

I have a family, friends, pets, and a career that I adore. My dogs are my biggest challenges. One is old. The other is a chewer. My children have graced me with ten grandchildren. They are a delight. I can entertain myself. I write poems, draw cartoons, and paint paintings. No one has to entertain me; I am busy most of the day, delighting myself. I have a fine life; my car and my house were recently paid off. This is such a blessing; and I am no longer a fanatical shopper. The pandemic proved to me that I do not have to shop daily. It forced me to save money, something I had never done before the pandemic. I have not gotten sick, even though many of my friends have. I think I am lucky. God has saved me from car wrecks more than one time. I have totaled cars and walked away, without a scratch. I have hurt myself badly, been in a wheel chair, and learned to walk again. This lesson was a reminder of how lucky I am that I have two walking legs. I appreciate my life, for I have had some bad times, but these are good now.
