I do believe we create blessings - or perhaps as we 'live' we see parts of our life as blessed and/or filled with blessings. So is it attitude or creation or gifts or all three? Hmmmmmmmmm. I do see many aspects of my/our life as blessed - our peaceful home, love, family, friends, food, wine, nature all around, our dog, managing our health, income, insurance, the wood stove, our 'stuff'. :-), warm clothes and running water, pooping regular, sex, and on and on - so, attitude? creation? gifts bestowed? a combination of all of those? And what of my Mom's miraculous recovery - coming back to life? Truly a blessing - and not of our creation - a true gift. :-) And my sister surviving her heart attack - another blessing given - sunrise, sunset, moon and tides, oceans and lakes, flowers and trees, the seasons, faith and hope, my daughter called, she said "I love you Mommy", blessings? Oh yes. And I only had to receive them all. Lucky me, huh? Lucky me. :-) So many blessings received. Amen.

BLESSINGS
Someone commented on my last post about blessings and how they are created and that we do not sit back passively and acquire them. I thought A lot about this since he wrote it and decided to delve.
