I POSITIVELY have Crohns

Sitting here trying to be insightful and really just getting the sound of the water dripping in the sink as the only bounceback, I begin to think about being blessed and feeling blessed. We so often say "I'm blessed" as the counterbalance to whatever challenge we are currently being given. Like anyone else, I make the remark too without much thought into what I am saying.

"I'm blessed". Taking the time to really think about what is being said would overwhelm us and humble us to tears. Someone today had to home to go to. Someone had no one to share their troubles with. Someone was still waiting to see if their loved one lost to one of the many tragedies the world has seen lately. Someone could see no way to provide the needs of their family. Someone...but that someone wasn't me.

In the midst of our own struggles, we can overlook our own blessings. We let our everyday life over shadow the wonderful things we have. How can you feel blessed when you feel so sick? For myself, I can truly say that I am blessed even tho I have Crohns. I don't suffer to the degree others do and have a wonderful support system of understanding family and friends. That in itself is a blessing.

Regardless to how we feel, most of us are truly blessed. I hope that I can be mindful of that and begin to feel blessed as well.
