~Count Your Blessings~
You know.. I really do that alot...Count my blessings.. I have alot to
be thankful for. I read the comments here, I read the wonderful
letters I get. Do you KNOW what a blessing that is to me? You have
NO idea. I'll be honest here, some days I get really down. I noticed
that when I was really feeling bad with that junk I had a little while
back. I felt like, LORD, I'm REALLY getting tired of this FIGHT...
the bad sometimes seem to outweigh the good, specially when
things here are stressed out, or stuff just seems to happen and
goes from bad to worse, things falling apart, THEN you get sick.
Well rat farts..LOL...I mean..I NEED SOMETHING GOOD !!!
So, I do.. Just what that old hymn says, I Count My Blessings,
I name them One by One, then you see what God has done...
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost, Count YOUR
BLESSINGS.. I name them all.. One of my biggest, is all of YOU
that take the time to come here and read this...then say the nicest
most kind things to me, THATS a blessing... and y'know..some
times we get so involved in the junk thats getting us down...that
we really dont see it for a while. . . and you think.."*SIGH*, Lord,
I am just so TIRED.... . . just a few words - "you're so sweet, you
are so gorgeous, we love you, you are wonderful..you have NO idea,
what a blessing that is to me.....so..hey, THANKS.... :-)
My other blessings? Well.. maybe, I dont know if you would really
call it a blessing, but, maybe even in a way, losing my legs was.
well.. would I be here? Would I be living here? Its NOT that bad
a place to be, when I see someone else with no home, no friends,
no pets, no family,, nothing.. so maybe I am a blessing to someone
else? So... If I hadn't lost them..No telling what road I would be
on.. Well this one is bad at times and Lord, I get SO mad..but
well could be worse.. I got 2 great kids here, and I still have some
of that great shrimp in my freezer, and would you believe I even
entertained the idea of inviting my sister, brother, Donnie, Kelli
all here for a little dinner with help so to speak? Now.. is THAT
a blessing? And.. well I did make it thru another year.. and I AM
still so gorgeous I just SMILE when I look in my mirror LOL ;-D
NOW.. THAT IS A BLESSING too... lol...
Well I'm just getting all kinds of melancholy ain't I? Naaa I just
thought it time I let y'all know I appreciate my life and all of you
that are taking the time to come here and spend this time with
me and let me know... I'll answer EVERY letter I get, those of
you that have written I think can attest to that lol. I KNOW
some are mini books , well you ASK stuff so..I TELL ya!!! lol..
So, with that said... Lunch didnt get here till AFTER 2 oclock
today..NOW, what is WRONG with THAT picture? OK yes it
is a blessing it came , even tho was hours late, but, still.. I get
hungry at noon, specially when I got up about 4 this morning.
I was nappin when he brought it..So, now I'm gonna go count
how many blessings I got in my fridge and cupboards LOL..
Y'all have a good one y'hear? Luv ya.. and MANY thanks :-)
Always, Lois***

Dear Lois,
Bless you, you are such a tonic. How on earth can losing your legs be good, I thought. Then I remembered, I'd been somewhere similar. I lost my right eye to a melanoma on the retina, but, do you know what/ That was lucky, if it had been any place else on my body, it would have killed me, so I see what you mean. Thank you for that.
God bless, love and hugs from Raife.

Ahhhh life IS really good my dear friend, I want some of that good puddin you made, THAT! is what I would call a blessing too! :-)

Hi Lois,
I tried to send you those stats and comcast has blacklisted me.. They won't let my mail through.. They say I have abused something.. lol.. Now what do I do??
I've always sent you mail.. This is beginning to be like AOL.. Three I've been sending to there has just started bouncing back.. AOL won't let them through. Oh well.. Let me know if you've got any ideas..
Love and Hugs
Sherry

Hi Sherry, I just talked to comcast, there is no one listed on a blacklist, the problem is on your end...You need to check there with your provider, if its aol..well you know the saying with that service, AOL SUCKS..lol...Ive checked NO one is blacklisted on my server and anyone should be able to get mail thru. If you or anyone cannot reach me thru here there is always Yahoo...
Sorry your having trouble kiddo...
check your isp...Luv ya,,
