Since I've been encouraging you to count your blessings, I thought I'd practice what I preach and see if I could list 50. This is a fun exercise. Take a piece of paper and number it to 50 or get on your computer and start writing. I won't have the blessings some of you will list because I don't have brothers, sisters or children.

But here's my list. Maybe it will inspire you!
