Although this may be the case, I actually felt more of a connection from this post, because I could feel that this was something that was heartfelt. Judging from the other comments, I'm not the only one who feels this way.Dave Jenkinshttp://www.tenkainternational.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-80554731705863088622016-05-11T08:06:37.295-07:002016-05-11T08:06:37.295-07:00P.S.

When infact all around us we are filled with greatness that we need to identify. I used to often keep a gratitude journal that was filled with the smallest of details such as my glasses to help me see in HD.Roxhttp://www.roxtintedglasses.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7632640970016916029.post-10278536029721357642016-05-10T05:48:27.052-07:002016-05-10T05:48:27.052-07:00Lin,

I wasn't sure whether it would resonate enough with my readers. I couldn't have said it better: "Times of reflection and clarity are what's needed."

My writing career seems to be stagnate and what's worse it's not bothering me that much. ugh. But - Jennifer - as always you give me pause. I have many of the same blessings and sometimes they're heaped upon me. I should head smack myself. Really. But I'll come up from under the rock again. Soon, I hope.

There is always something to be thankful for, whether simply waking up that day or knowing there's untold millions in the bank. Well okay, maybe not millions, but the bills are paid, anyway. :) Thanks for the encouragement. Have a lovely weekend!
