you are blessed.

got this off an email a long time ago...

If you woke up this morning
with more health than illness...
You are more blessed
than the million who will not survive this 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 500 million people in the world.

If you can attend a place of worship
without fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death...
You are more blessed
than 3 billion people in the world.

If you have food in the refrigerator,
clothes on your back, a roof overhead
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 somewhere...
You are among
the top 8% of the world's wealthy.

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 a healing touch.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing
in that someone was thinking of you and,
furthermore, you are more blessed
than over 2 billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

DON'T ever take life for granted. peace. <><
