Counting Blessings

Feeling the way I have been feeling lately causes me to not think about my blessings often enough. I have been dwelling on the negative things and worrying about things I don't have and stuff like that. So today's post is a list of my blessings that I can think of. Make your own list. I'm sure you'll feel better once you're done.
