Let's count our Blessings

[FarmerDenise]

Sometimes in the hubbub of life, we tend to forget to notice the good stuff that happens to us.

I like some of the new positive threads that have been started and realized how excited I got this morning when I discovered a small blessing. I thought it would be fun to remind ourselves of the small blessings that happen our way on a daily basis.

My small blessings so far today:
The sun came out!!!

For years I have been trying to grow rubbarb. I keep killing off the starts I buy with my diligent negligence. Last year I once again found and purchased a start. As broke as I am spending $7 on a potted plant is a lot. I promised myself I would get this plant into the ground asap. But I couldn't decide what would be the best place to plant it. So it sat. I remembered to water it. Then we got goats and I found out that rubbarb is toxic to goats. So I moved the pot to the front yard. And forgot about it. One day I notice dit and it was totally dried out. I plopped it into my little pond. And forgot about it. Last afll I took it out and set it to the side, still having hope, that there is something alive in there somewhere, but seriously doubting it.
Just now I was perusing the front yard for edibles to put in our salad and I noticed the pot. Then I looked closer. There is a teeny, tiny reddishgreen very curly leaf coming up!!!! It's still alive!!! Now I better get it planted

My blessing for today is that I woke up extra early to pour a cup of coffee and come here where wonderful people feed my soul

My blessings for today are the free horse manure I got for the garden, the truck we have to transport it and the strength and good health it took for me to shovel it all.

Amen

Today I am thankful for those I have come know lately who are wise beyond their years and are willing to their free time listening to my struggles and reminding me how thankful I should be.

I'm blessed that I was able to go to church this morning and worship, and then go to the grocery store and get more bread, peanut butter, and soup (I know, but I don't have a pressure canner :/ ) in anticipation of "wintry mix" that is headed our way tonight. What's scary is that they're actually predicting it FOR OUR AREA, not just that the big town north of us is getting it, so we might get, but it's actually predicted for our area. The school has already called letting us know that tomorrow is cancelled. (Southerners + driving on ice = NOT GOOD! )

Blessed with 2 long weekends in a row (Next week is MLK, Jr Day)

I wake up everyday thankful that I have a very healthy and happy family and I am also thankful everyday for our home and our land. I think many of us take too much for granted, we ALL need to take time to slow down and appreciate the simple, but important things.
