Count your blessings
There is a tendency to see only the negative in our lives, especially when there seems to be an overwhelming amount of reasons to be so this year. Take a moment to think about the good in your life, the things for which you are grateful. You may surprise yourself...I hope you surprise yourself. Prose or poetry - nonfiction, please.
Blessed
I cry, I wine, I say “why,why?”
Why me? Why you? Why this?
I trip, I fall, I stumble and roll
Why is my life so much worse then his?
I breathe, I sit, I close my eyes
I listen to my heart and see fireflies
I smile, I stand up and raise my head
I got everything that he wishes he had.
