Little blessings

It really is a year of changes and challenges. I often feel overwhelmed by things that are happening to me right now. I cannot seem to see the ending though I know it somewhere down the road. I just need to walk a little further.

I am thankful though for blessings. Big blessings. Little blessings. They come as a surprise and just refresh me to go on and look at the bright side of life.

- To read the words "Thank God!" from a colleague who normally complains a lot.

- For a much awaited email from a friend that brings me excitement for my vacation trip.

- For a chat with a friend about peeling away assumptions that hinder our lives.

- For finally learning how to properly address my new boss.

- A text message from a teacher whose actions assure me she cares enough to see me through this test.

- The Christmas song wafting though the mall that brought a smile on my lips.

- The appreciation of a colleague for the peanuts I gave her to alleviate her hunger pangs.

- For the favorite macaroni soup I had for dinner. My feel-good food.

- For just being able to think and write.

Thank God!
