Overlooked Blessings

The haven of a comforting shoulder to cry on; the warming embrace of a loved one.

Pampering yourself.

Listening to the whispers of your authentic self and taking his/her advise.

The generosity and hospitality of good neighbors.

Family and friends who remember funny or uplifting stories about your past that you've forgotten and share them with you.

Finding a lost pet.

Rediscovering old family photos.

Playing hooky.

The intimate bond of friendship that protects, nurtures, inspires and comforts.

The man or woman in your life who is neither a past or present love but simply a precious friend who adores you.

Waking up to a perfectly beautiful day for a planned outdoor event.

Working with people you enjoy being around. Working with people who are pleasant, kind, funny, considerate, and who honor your contribution.

An opportunity to interview for the dream job. Getting it.

Receiving the perfect gift. Finding one for someone else.

Catching a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and delighting in what you see.

Having your child appreciate your sense of humor.

An unexpected compliment that makes your day.

Enjoying the company of smart, witty, savvy people, delighting in stimulating conversation and holding your own.

Completing the crossword puzzle without help.

Looking fabulous at your class reunion.

Listening to the oldies and recalling happy moments.

A rare, relaxing break with your co-worker during a hectic day.

Paying off your credit card balance.

Coming up with the perfect retort at the moment you need it and not two hours later.

Friends and family who can both truly rejoice with you and console you in times of sorrow.

The sound of raindrops on your roof at night.

(To be continued..........)
