The Magic July 31

July 31, 2014

Count your blessings. Make a list of ten blessings. Write why you’re grateful. Reread your list, and at the end of each blessing say thank you, thank you, thank you, and feel as grateful for that blessing as you can.

I am truly blessed to have peace.

Because there is so much war in this world. I am very grateful that I am not in one.

because we are part of a community, we beings. And I’m glad to have a community of friends.
