Count Your Blessings

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who won’t survive the week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 20 million people around the world.

If you attend a church meeting without fear of harassment, arrest, torture, or death, you are more blessed than almost three billion people in the world.

If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof over your head and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world.

If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world’s wealthy.

If your parents are still married and alive, you are very rare, especially in the United States.

If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can hold someone’s hand, hug them or even touch them on the shoulder, you are blessed because you can offer God’s healing touch.

If you can read this message, you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world that cannot read anything at all.

You are so blessed in ways you may never even know.

Perhaps I am about to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Perhaps I should leave it alone. Perhaps I should take the high road,ignore it and go about my business. Perhaps I shouldn't even be writing this post about it. Perhaps I should just go to bed. Perhaps if I had wings I could freakin' fly.....perhaps....perhaps....perhaps....!!!!

But since this is my blog and I can fiddle faddle fudge blog about what I want to blog about, then I have decided I want to blog about this. Against my better judgement I have arrived at this decision. But when ^Belle^ is mad as a hornet, as I am at this very minute, then better judgement is but a passing thought and nothing more.

Very likely I will regret this in a couple of hours and delete it all together. Or not....can't say right. But since I have been accused in a public forum..with my name in big capital letters of taking part in a "....personal attack" and the "....misuse of comments....", since I have been singled out with others in public...well then....I must address this and defend myself in public.As the old saying goes, "Don't start none, and there won't be none". (Yes I know that is bad grammer...but guess what....? I don't care!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The first thing is this: I do not use my blog or anyone elses blog to launch personal attacks or mean spirited diatribes on others. PERIOD END OF STORY. I always try to consider the feelings of others. I pick and choose my words carefully to avoid doing so because I was raised that way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won't mention any names or particulars. Some of you may know what I am talking about and some of you won't. I started this blog to write about things that interest me in the hopes that others would be interested too. I wanted to write about feelings. My feelings to be exact as a way of tearing down walls and barriers that kept me from acknowledging what and how I am feeling. To deal with things as they happen. To stop sticking my head in the sand and saying to myself and everyone else, "That's alright" or "That's okay". Well you know what...? Somethings are NOT alright and somethings are NOT okay. Being insulted is NOT okay with me.
Having my character and integrity brought into question is NOT okay with me.
Being accused of personal attacks on others, is NOT okay with me.

Later Ya'll....TICKED OFF SOUTHERN ^Belle^
