"We become what we think about."

It is true, we become what we think about. I devised this tool, "Blessings of the Day," as a way for all of us to record daily the small, and maybe large, events
that were truly blessings. From the smile of a stranger to the first signs of spring, summer, fall or winter ...
to the call from a friend or someone who let us into a busy traffic lane. Or maybe it's recalling the kind and compassionate words you said to lift someone else up who was struggling.

A blessing from you to someone else can have a powerful and positive effect on those around us, but we have to awaken in the morning and create the intention
to look for these opportunities to come our way.

I have used this exercise myself for years on a weekly and sometimes daily
basis and the results have been phenomenal. Through the writing process, we
get to actually see the miracles we create for others and those that are given to us.

Print the attached form and make copies to have handy to fill in. Slow down and enjoy all of the transactions that occur daily around you. Put a reminder in your computer calendar to help you remember the day or days each week that you'd like to do this. And reap the benefits of our ?Daily Blessings.?

I wish you abundance, peace, joy and happiness in every area of your life.

Peace & Love,
David

As the World Turns
Author Unknown

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

If you can attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed that three billion people in the world.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If your parents are still alive and still married, you are very rare, even in the United States.

If you can hold someone's hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer healing touch.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can read this message, you have just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

As you read this and are reminded how life is in the rest of the world, remember just how blessed you really are!
