I'm feeling extra blessed right now. Why don't I always realize how wonderful life is and how much I've been given?

I've been blessed by some kind words; my goal today is to do the same for someone else.

How have you been blessed? Tell me.

My eyes are being opened; don't think I'm blind.

In other areas of life, things are dropping into place. Thanks be to God for showing me that Now is the time!

I've been thinking about all the things under the surface. There's so much more to me than what you see: there are experiences and dreams and ideas that I have not shared with anyone and likely never will. I think things that I never say. I have deeper emotions than can be articulated. Words aren't adequate to really express most of who I am. I don't think I'm unusual; I'm not even that private of a person in general. I wonder if anybody can truly know me. Or if I can know anyone else completely. 

In the end, I guess we know each other enough, and that's what matters. God knows me completely; He knows you, too.

So much of life just comes down to Well, Marie, do you really believe God is sovereign or not? Hmmm? So act like it already!

I am blessed beyond measure to have friends who scatter encouragement in my path. :)


Thankful

I do this every year, half my flist does a form of this, and yet -- much as I like to be different, I keep on. It's important. Someday I want to look back and see how my lists change year after year.

There never stop being things to be thankful for.

Enough rain to wet the ground and make the temperature plummet from 108 to 75.

That's thirty-three degrees. O_O

I am so so so so so happy.

And for once it's not all about me.

I almost posted quite a different entry much earlier today. I just don't know what is UP with me. It's like so much is going on inside that I can't even decide how or when or why to talk about it. I'm not so good at this introspective stuff.

It was probably not one of the smartest things to do, but last night after work, about 9:30, I walked several blocks down main street. It was too beautiful not to. Fog, very, very light misty rain, the street lights making glowing auras...it f, probably. elt like England, and while it's depressing weather during the day, it's lovely at night.

And I felt amazing. Grey wool skirt, pink cashmere sweater set, and pearls: between that and the dream-like fog I felt like I could have been in the 1950s.

Silly, probably, but it's so hard to put into words properly. I wish I could make everyone understand.

Since it's almost Thanksgiving, here's my Blessings List. I've been keeping it for a while, but this is the perfect time to share it. I've left out all the "normal" things like faith, friends, and family. Obveously I'm thankful for those! These are just the more unusual ones.

I really am blessed, you know. For all the complaining that I do, you'd think I have an awful life...but I have the best friends in the world, I'm healthy, I have around me tons of things that I love, I have my job, I have an active and creative mind. There's some things that I don't have, but I have the very strong probability of gaining them someday in the future.

Anytime I start complaining, someone slap me and remind me of this.
