Blessings......

The challenge for today is to write a list of all the blessings I currently have. Since starting the project, I have discovered this might be a never ending list, so here is an incomplete list. Here goes…..

Janice and Stephanie Kelly – two people who know me better than I know myself
Family – all of them
Yogi
Friends – Honduran, Canadian and American – some who know me as well as Mom and Steph and call me on my craziness (Tara, Megan, Laura)
Rain
Butterflies, birds
Exterminators and bug spray
Electricity
No electricity
Laughter
Food
Clothes
Computer
Music
DVDs – Movies and TV series
Neighbors
Enough money to pay bills and have food
Backyard with plants
Health
Clean water
Rain jacket
Books, Literacy
Literacy
Common Sense
People in my life who keep things in perspective and have a sense of humor who have taught me to laugh instead of crying.
Professional coworkers who are willing to share resources
Prayer warriors
A wonderful job
A roof over my head that doesn’t leave during a wind storm
Traveling
Support for my endeavors and crazy adventures even when they fail
Warm showers
Flashlights, candles and matches
Guacamole and chips – my dinner when the electricity went out
Internet to talk with family and friends
Hugs
Beaches
Going home to Texas to people who love me
Coming back to Honduras to people who miss me


I know my list is full of randomness. People, materials, knowledge. Since being in Honduras, I have discovered that the greatest blessings are not bought. They are experienced with the people in our lives. I don’t know if this is the right kind of list, but they are things I am grateful for today.
