Lifted from bookczuk, yokospungeon, texaswren (among others).

I think I'd like to just challenge everyone to count and record one blessing, just one, in their journal. Maybe in the reading we will stack each one blessing upon the other in our hearts - even if they are not our own - and remember, we are alive, we're here - maybe miserable - but here. And that sure as heck beats the alternative.

When I stop to think about it, I find my life filled with so many blessings that it becomes hard to single out just one to list here. Perhaps because my brothers are now both survivors of failed marriages, I think I'll focus on my marriage. I'm blessed to find myself in a strong and stable marriage. My wife not only tolerates my idiosyncrasies, but seemingly even appreciates them. We enjoy each other's company (most of the time), have enough in common to draw us together and sufficient differences to keep from smothering each other. We do fight and get frustrated, but we always manage to work through our issues and resolving the conflicts seems to just draw us closer together. A good marriage takes work, and I'm blessed to have a woman who wants to work at it with me.

If I had to name one blessing in my life, I would have to say it's my children. Of course, that may count as more than one. I have one in college, one a senior in high school, and one a sophomore. I love all three of them.
