After spending a week in the jungle of Ecuador, I came back to the US with gratefulness over running water, beds instead of hammocks, varieties of foods, showers instead of rivers to bathe in. It was a wake up call with how blessed we are. 💕

Thank you! I am feeling like to count my blessings that ordinary things don't count. I am sopleased to read your wise words. My bank is filling up!

Aw, that's so great to hear Pam. Counting really helps turn that spiral up instead of downward!

So true. We see this in nature but never put tripping over shoes into perspective. Thanks for opening my eyes on the everyday things.

Very well said. I ask myself every morning, what is good about today? This morning it was put the trash cans at the curb. It was good because I know the owner of the garbage company and everytime I see her she thanks me for choosing her business. Makes me feel great.

Yes, exactly. The shoes are so easy to see; the person who left them there can become easy to miss. Thanks for reading, Nanette.”
