Counting blessings

Many years ago, a wise person once told me, "count your blessings--that will always make you feel better."
So in the style of Letterman, here are my top 10 blessings for today:
10. Waking up to a new morning.
9. Having a job to go to.
8. Having a vehicle to drive to work in
7. Having decent, kind and thoughtful people to work with and for.
6. a roof over my head
5. the beauty of the Earth
4. the means and ability to attend Loyola's Institue for Ministry program
3. friends
2. family
1. God's love, Jesus' example and the Spirit's inspiration and guidance.

There. I'm feeling better.
Count your blessings so you can feel better, too.
