    Great way to start off a Monday! I was just thinking this morning how happy I was to listen to my 2 children getting themselves ready for the day. They were laughing and my heart just filled with happiness. My mother would have been 52 this past Saturday and I can just imagine the pride and love she felt for my sister and I, same way I feel about my 2 daughters. It's so easy to forget that there is always someone worse off than we are. I feel blessed to have happiness in my life despite all the bumps in the road I have faced to be where I am today. 26 days and counting til I marry the love of my life!!

    I feel blessed..Because God has allowed me to wake up each morrning. He has put the road blocks in my way for a reason. It is to teach me something, that I may need a lesson in. Throughout these past few months, I have had time to reflect on my life. And realize that HE does every thing for a reason. I feel blessed..because I am about to become Mrs. Weems in 19days. And I am blessesd to have such a wonderful man and step son. I have always wanted to have my own family, and he has given me that!

    Good one Bambi. I feel blessed to have wonderful children in household.  Even though they pluck my nerves, I wouldn't trade them for the world.  Also my husband, I never knew that I could love him more every single day, but every morning & night I look at him & just smile & kiss him.  I'm so glad that he chose me to spend the rest of his life with.  I'm blessed to have a job, a house, a car, food, & more than anything else, I'm blessed to be living with all of my senses.  We take so many things for granted.

    Thanks Bambi for the Post. I am blessed to be happy and to be loved by Family, friends and especially my BF. I am blessed to have found a Man that is so kind and selfless and only wants to be happy and to make me happy. I am also so blessed to only have to worry about making good grades and don't have to work as I did while getting my B.S and M.S in Engineering (I worked three Jobs at times). Now I am a AAW getting a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering and it is all paid for and I get a stipend every month to live and pay my bills! I am just so blessed! THANK YOU LORD!

    I feel blessed b/c I can walk, talk, amd feed myself. Just  being able  to perform daily activities on my own is a blessing. I feel blessed that I have gotten to exprience true love and I feel honored to be chosen to exprience this LOVE! I am blessed to have such great and wonderful family and friends. Small blessing:  having a car with A/C and that goes where I need it to go. A place to lay my head at night. A shoulder to lean on when I need it. Being able to make sound decisions for myself. I always say that I know there are some improvements that I need to make to become a better person but I am SOOOOOO glad God made me the way I am!  Biggest blessing is LIFE being able to exprience the things you have dreamed off. The LOVE of God! LOVES IT

    Bambi, this is a good Monday questionSmall blessing, I woke up this morning, I got to kiss my children and eat. Yes, these seem silly but think about those who don't have food to eat, don't get to see their children for one reason or another or those who are gone too soon. Thank you God.

    I feel blessed for a number of things that I wouldn't even have time to put into words. The two things that I feel especially blessed and grateful for today are my family (every single last one of them - blood or no blood) and my job. I don't want God to think that I ever take these things - my family especially - for granted.

    I am blessed to have my daughter who is 8 years old.  My daughter is not my current husbands, but he loves her and takes care of her just like she is his own, and he has no kids! After being diagnosed with PCOS, and having a hard time with fertility I have found that being able to get pregnant is such a blessing!  We are still undergoing tests and treatment for secondary infertility but I know God will bless and we will have the children that we desire so deeply!

    I feel blessed to know the Lord and know that without him I am nothing. I feel blessed to know the meaning of and to be deeply in love. I feel blessed that I am allowed to give so unselfishly of myself to another paerson. I feel blessed to have the life, friends, family, health, and career that I have. I feel blessed to have a sane mind and a good heart. I feel blessed to know that I am not perfect but have come a long way from the person I used to be......I feel blessed to be me! :)

    I feel Blessed because  this morning I woke up dressed and in my right mind.. Even though I  had jury duty today I was blessed enough to make a phone call to my job to let them I wasn't going to  make it in today. I feel Blessed because God has given a blessing to 1) get married, 2) to be able to  pay for it, and 3) married someone He designed for me..
