Susanne keeps us on track reminding us every Friday to think about our blessings from the week. You can find out more/join in/read posts from others taking part here. Thanks Susanne.
It's hard to watch the news these days with all the troubles we've had here recently but these seem minor when compared with what people in some countries are facing every day so I'm going back to basics this week:
1) I'm thankful Hubby and I are in good health. We may have our aches and pains and I'm having to be more aware of his hearing difficulties but they are all minor - plus we have good healthcare facilities should we need them.
2) We have a roof over our heads and even if it should spring a leak we would be able to fix it.
3) We can put food on the table and don't have to stress about when the next meal might be.
4) We can cool ourselves down if it gets hot and keep ourselves warm when it turns cold.
5) And on days when you receive upsetting news I can take myself for a walk around the lake and spot these two Egyptian geese in a tree!
We can find so many blessings just looking around us! Thanks for reminding us.
ReplyDeleteYou are blessed to be able to walk by a lake and enjoy the swans. Yes, having what we need is a blessing!
ReplyDeletehehehe! Walk on water. The geese are so pretty. We get mostly Canadian geese here.
ReplyDeleteYes, so many blessings to count. I've never seen an Egyptian geese before. Beautiful!! Happy weekend, Wendy!
ReplyDeleteEvery day brings blessings whether big or little. Enjoyed your pics!
ReplyDeleteThose "everyday" blessings are the best!
ReplyDeleteI agree it's nice when you don't have major worries. From my room I can hear in the evening the geese in the annexed park where we have a lake. They sing ! As finally we have summer I am always outside walking or sitting or playing games with my resident friends. Now I can leak my wounds after 4 years of worries and catch up on my health. Being here was a good decision for me.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to remind ourselves of those 'basic blessings,' too. Such a neat picture of the Egyptian geese in the tree! We don't have those in our area. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteCounting our blessings is always a good idea. I hope you haven't had upsetting news. That lake is a pretty spot for walking. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteHi, I have never seen Egyptian Geese, thank you for sharing.

I loved this list of faves. We take some of these things for such granted. Thanks for the reminder that they are indeed blessings.
