Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has many; not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some.
--Charles Dickens

Oh yes, I love that one! And of course, it makes me want to add some good stuff...

*baking rolls from scratch (you know that whole domestic goddess-like feeling that comes from yeast and rolling pins)

*two apple trees and a pear tree dripping with ripe fruit

*sweet, supportive friends like Nymeth and Melissa and Trish

*a soft bundle of fur (a.k.a. cat) curled up in your lap as you read

*four phone calls in three hours from a daughter who obviously just likes to talk to you

*a clean bathroom (at least for the next few hours)

*this post by Bellezza!

Yep, so many blessings.

Been a while since I've had my act together enough to participate, but I hope I'm back on track now. I love this week's Weekly Geek theme: a quote a day. Each participant can choose if they want to be more specific than that or not. Not sure what direction, if any, I'll take. But here is today's:

Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to this web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
--Chief Seattle
