Blessings

Some folks think life is dismal,
bent on destroying them,
throwing up road blocks,
giving them grief.
Don't ever think I don't have bad days.
They exist.
I just choose not to dwell there.

Take for instance, this morning,
Worked a 5 am - 2pm shift yesterday.
Came home, tried to nap so I could watch the game.
That didn't work.
Made it through some of the third quarter.
Bama won. I wanted Georgia to win.
I'm exhausted and hungry and wiped out.

But . . .

This morning, what do I wake up to,
instead of the few deer that fill my back yard,
two of them . . . in my front yard . . .
about 30 feet from my window.
I tried to take a picture.
Didn't work, so I realized,
I'm just supposed to enjoy my blessings.

Maybe you should too!
