I have a friend who wrote a poem about his blessings.  It is the inspiration for this sharepost.  There are many things that I count as blessings.  My relationship with my partner is close to the top of the list.  Also, interesting books and time to read them are up there too.  I am happy to see the sun rise every morning; it gives me another day to enjoy life.  Of course I enjoy when there is snow on the ground because I hate summer!  I am blessed with the ability to write and write alot!  I am blessed with a roof over my head and food on the table, including chocolate chip cookies!  :)  I am blessed with love from my siblings.  I am blessed that those siblings live 1000 miles away.  :D  I am blessed with Bipolar meds that keep me mostly stable.  Of course I am blessed (or cursed) with the love from three cats and two dogs....and the stray dog we are babysitting.  I have many reasons to be happy and that makes me feel blessed....
