This morning I woke up in my cozy bed, checked my Blackberry cell phone, drank a glass of clean water, had some cereal, and an apple. I turned on my parent’s flat screen television and felt sick.

What the heck is my problem?

I am so richly blessed everyday and I hardly think about it. I was watching coverage from Joplin, MO and my heart hurt. I couldn’t believe how devastated the city was and I couldn’t stop thinking about the many people who are suffering as I just go about my day like nothing has happened.

I read Lindsay’s post on blessings yesterday and it kind of inspired me this morning.

I was going to do a post on something that now seems vain in spite of the disaster in MO. I want to count my blessings now!

5 RANDOM BLESSINGS I AM THANKFUL FOR:

1. Clean and running water in my home!

2. Having a job and being able to make money to support myself and give to my Church.

3. My eyesight! I can look for seashells, read blogs, see the ocean, and look at my family and friends beautiful faces.4. My truck. I can drive to work, school, etc.

5. Blogging friends. I have talked to such wonderful people through blogging and I love everyone 🙂
