Counting my blessings

God has blessed me in too many ways to count...

I'm in good health
- my eyesight has stabilized over the years
- I have most of my teeth (except my left upper inscissor)
- my heart and lungs and other vital organs are in good working order
- my bones and joints are fine except the occasional sprain
- I have full control of my limbs and faculties

My parents are alive, in good health, and have a great loving relationship

My sister is hooked up with a great guy who treats her well

I have a beautiful intelligent warm compassionate girlfriend

I am financially viable even though I'm a long way from well-off

I am intelligent, learn quickly, and retain/apply knowledge well

I have skills that, although they will never pay my rent, may one day save my life or the life of a loved one - swimming and martial arts.

I am surrounded by fantastic close friends (you know who you are!)

I have loved, and been loved, by my pets

My dear Ah Ma had a relatively easy passing

Alwyn is happily married to a wonderful gal and has a cushy job (lucky ass!!!)

Dad has lived through what could be called his greatest challenge in life, and has emerged scarred but stronger from the experience. Mum too has learned a lot recently, and I'm sure all this has contributed to a general strengthening of their relationship.

I have a job. Yes, in this economy, this is indeed a blessing!

I'm sure there's a lot more that I am forgetting, but as it is, I feel extremely blessed already!
