#blessed

I am #blessed. This phenomenon has been around in social media for a bit. The #s have been around for so long, but the #blessed. A lot of people use it to show some perspective on what makes their life blessed. So I thought I would take a moment to talk about what that means in relation to my life.

Reasons I am blessed.

• I was adopted
• Not only was I adopted, but I was adopted into the most supportive and understanding family
• I went through school, including college
• I am able to go home whenever my parents are willing
• I have my both parents and my sister
• I have clean water
• I have supportive friends who will be there for me
• I have a partner who puts up with me and my quirks and hanger (hunger-anger)
• I have my eyesight to read all the books I want
• I have a laptop where I can write these blog posts
• I don’t have any major health problems at the moment
• I can hear all of my music whenever I want
• I have heat when it is cold outside
• I can go downstairs quickly to get any groceries I want
• I have electricity
• I can read

And many more. It’s hard every day to be grateful for all of these things because they are so common (to you) that they become invisible. I hope I can use this post whenever I am feeling especially down and reference it to put my life into perspective.

How are you blessed?
