Overlooked Blessings By Sarah Ban Breathnach Faith. Faith in a Spirit possessing greater strength, wisdom, power and love than you do. Faith in the ultimate goodness of Life. Faith in yourself. Faith that as you seek, you will find. Answered prayers. The kindness of stangers. The warmth and security of home. Crossing the threshold and closing the door after a hard day. Expressions of unconditional love and support. Your health. The health of those you love. A job that provides a steady income while you pursue your dreams. Feeling the presence of Spirit in your life. Not having to cook tonight. When hope is restored. Following your intuition and being delighted that you did. Acceptance after struggle. Completely and utterly surrendering to what is and then waiting expectantly for the good that is to come. An afternoon to do as you please. Doing a great job and having it and your efforts appreciated. Holding your child in your arms. Witnessing the birth of new life. The beach. The feel of sand beneath your feet, the salty breeze, the warming rays of the sun. A walk in the woods and becoming aware of life all around you. Trying something new and loving it. The desire for knowledge. Two hours in a wonderful bookstore. Waking up early enough to watch the sun rise with a cup of tea or coffee. Watching the sunset. Meeting a kindred spirit. Hearing a piece of music the instantly touches your soul. Reading a passage in a book or a poem that expresses exactly how you feel. Holding hands. A nap. Realizing that there are no coincidences. Relishing a wonderful movie. Liking it so much you want to see it again. Laughing so hard, you can't catch your breath and your sides ache. The sacred release of a good cry. Bringing joy, happiness, and comfort to another person or creature. The loyal, loving companionship of pets. Finding a parking space exactly when you need one. Summoning up the courage to surmount a challenge. Taking tiny and big risks and having them pay off. Moving on
