"Anything that has brought a smile to your lips, joy to your heart, or lightness to your step is a blessing.  Anything that has made your life more comfortable, has lightened your burden, or has brought warmth to your home is a blessing.  Anything that has supported your body, increased your endurance, or opened your heart is a blessing.  Anything that has made you look deeper, has expanded your understanding, or has increased your compassion is a blessing.  Anything that has tested your strength, fortified your commitment, or forced you to grow is a blessing.  Anything that has reminded you of how precious life is and has taught you to treasure your family is a blessing."
