Blessed Enough

Around St. Patrick's Day we read a blog post called Lucky Enough where she was talking about the many blessings in her life. It starts out "On the local Facebook page someone wrote: 'If you’re lucky enough to live in the mountains, you’re lucky enough.' " and then went on to list many ways she was lucky enough. It's worthy of a read, including the comments. We started thinking about some of our blessings, and now that we're about halfway between Thanksgivings, decided this would be a good time to list those things we feel blessed by.
