I'M GRATEFUL

i know i have a back condition that very often makes everything a pain in the arse but the parts that work are truly blessings beyond compare.


  • i can see the brilliant colors of the sunrise and sunset and am able to stand in awe at what the creator has made for me
  • i can hold a pencil to draw, to write and my fingers are able to move intricately across a keyboard.
  • i can hear the song of birds, the laughter of a child, the tears of a friend and i can respond to them all

The List. i could keep this list going since there are so many parts that are blessed with being maintenance-free and it would be so easy to forget them if i didn’t have the reminder that although i do have a difficult back the rest of me is divinely blessed and not everyone is as blessed.


The People. i am grateful for all the joy and sadness everyone has shared. i am grateful for the encouragement and compliments that have been gifted to me. i am terribly blessed to have been touched and been able to touch lives in a positive way.


The Talents I've Been Blessed With. my talents are a blessing because:


  • i can make other people have a little joy and some smiles when i use them
  • give me an ice-breaker in some socially awkward situations and a way to give gifts from the heart
  • make me stand in awe of my Creator since i have been blessed with a little of the creative nature that constructed the world

The Body Parts That Work. i could keep listing blessings since every time i turn around i can see one somewhere peeking at me. the secret is i am learning to see them everywhere in all things. some people call them silver linings, well maybe they are but if they are ‘just’ silver linings, my life is limned in silver… it practically glows argentum. and the more i see the silver the more it glows.


i like that.


i am blessed.


with silver lining all over.
