Many Moments

This month I took a break from trying to cram a goal into a fixed amount of days.  Instead I vowed that whenever life would get me down, I'd remind myself of all my joys.

You know what?  Often times that's hard.  It's not the tallying of all the pros and crossing off the cons. It's the remembering to remember.  It's much easier to keep looking at a black hole rather than averting the eyes.  

Like all the resolutions that have come before, I found this one to carry the same theme.  That once you start making something a habit, it will end up just as that.  

As far as all of those blessings that count?  Well, a very basic mathematical principle applies.  That of infinity.  If you have even just one blessing then you hold too many to count. 

If I were to have just one for each day though...
