As we celebrate the month of Life, I am reminded that each day of life is a blessing from God. I try to be grateful each day, to remind myself, especially when I am feeling down, or tired, to count my blessings, but real life bursts in and I forget sometimes. This is something I want to try to remedy, and I urge you all to join me.
