Count your Blessings Everyday

[USCG Cigar Newb]

Hey guys, just felt a need to post to remind everyone to take the time each day to take the time to appreciate all the things you are blessed with. This isnt meant to be a dreary depressing post. Just with the passing of Don for you guys that knew him, then the loss of my classmate in the crash of the Coast Guard helo a few days ago and then just yesterday the unit I work with lost a DEA agent that I worked with to a stroke. This guy was healthy as a horse, he had never had any health issues then all of a sudden he was discovered unresponsive on his floor, he leaves behind a wife a kids.

We have so many things to be thankful for, and they are usually those things that we take for granted. We never know what may happen each day, so I just want to urge/remind everyone that no matter the issues we do face, we all have something to be thankful for, and I just hope that we all simply take the time to appreciate it.

For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appeareth for a little time, and then vanishes away (James 4:14).

Sadly, some are taken away, what we consider, way too early. Every day that I wake up on the "right" side of the grass, I consider it a blessing.

Amen to that, Brother!

Great post. As Warren Zevon said before cancer took him, "Enjoy every sandwich."
