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 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 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 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 your parents are still alive and still married ... you are very rare, even in the United States.
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 prayed yesterday and today ... you are in the minority because you believe God does hear and answer prayers.
If you can read now, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Count your blessings ... live everyday with gratitude!
I am blessed and I am grateful everyday. I can sing when I want to, I can read a good book when I want to,I can step on a threadmill and run when I want to, I can choose what to eat(healhy or not so healthy food) or what to drink(hot green tea or ice blend coffee)I have the freedom to choose. Choices that I have today and I'm grateful to that.
