did you ever give thanks for everything that seems like nothing

It was raining so hard after dinner. You could hear the rain through all the other hoopla going on.

I made blackened pork chop chili and the whole house smelled like chili.

I put this song on the computer and turned it up.

I grabbed my cat Mischa, lay on the couch and held him while he purred.

Now I could hear college football, kids running and screaming, Mischa purring, Tupelo Honey be Van Morrison, and the rain along with soft thunder.

I closed my eyes and said a silent prayer to give thanks for everything in life that I have right at that moment.

I am blessed.
