Everyday, every week blessings

Now and then, even more often than not, we need only open our eyes and ears to the joy, wonders and artistry in the world.

But always, everyday and in every week we are blessed with:

A blue sky and sun.  The pedestrian that smiles upon approaching one.  A safe trip on icy roads.  A neighbor, unasked, helping with a chore.  Animal tracks in the snow.  A helpful and pleasant store clerk.  The look of joy on a three year old child.  Laughter with an old friend.  The ability to walk, talk, see and hear.  A sister or brother’s hug.  The sound of winter wind howling while sitting in a warm house.  A few minutes more of daylight each day.

The list goes on and on.
