There are so many wonderful things in this life, and while sometimes it's so easy to overshadow the good with all the bad, ugly and sad. Today though I want to focus on the positive. I am blessed with a family who loves on me constantly and who challenge me to be better. The puffy white clouds in the blue, blue sky are such a beautiful thing to see out my window. The fact that I live in a free country and also one of the most advanced countries in the world is such a great thing. People come from all over the world to get cancer (and other medical) treatment and I am blessed to live mere hours from the top medical facilities in the world is amazing. The fact that I can own a Bible - actually a number of them - and worship God freely. That I have a cozy bed to sleep in and a warm little dog that cuddles up beside me while I rest. The fact that I'm here well over two years since the doctors thought I would be is something I'm so grateful for. I am amazed sometimes at the way people show their love and concern for me. That God sent His only Son to this earth to die for me and forgive my sins. Wow. There are so many more things that are wonderful in this world and even more that I am grateful for. The old Louis Armstrong song "What a Wonderful World" made me think of all the great things we take for granted on a daily basis. What are you thankful for? What little things in life do you constantly take for granted. Focus on the positive for a few minutes, friends. I know you will be glad that you did.
