Accepting and Honoring Your Blessings

Blessings come to us in many ways and in many different forms. Blessings are those times, activities, and experiences that fill us with joy and exuberance, when our soul and our spirit meet as one and we think out loud, “I am truly blessed.”

Blessings are also our trials and tribulations. The times and moments in life when we feel deeply, cry intensely, long profoundly, and mourn losses of different types. In those times when we are feeling deeply and extremely sad and depressed, there is a blessing in growing, understanding, and appreciating what we have been gifted. It is in knowing the dark times that we can fully appreciate the light, it is in appreciating the lessons in the failures that we can learn, grow and bask in the successes.

Life is a wonderful gift and an AWESOME journey that lets us get home by following many different paths. It is important to cultivate the skills of seeing the blessings in everyday life as you are learning who you are, clarifying your purpose, and enjoying the path you are wandering.  When life gives you lemons, when the light at the end of the tunnel is non-existent, when you hit rock bottom, Count your Blessings. When life gives you lemonade, when the light at the end of the tunnel is shining bright, when you are at the top of your game, Count your Blessings. Because, through the eyes of blessings, every thought, experience, deed, and happenstance is a miracle.
