Count your blessings

Published on January 29, 2006 By Dr Guy In Blogging

With total attributes to Chaos Manager, I would like to add my own take. His was great! And indeed I cannot surpass him. But I want to add my own.

My Blessings!

God how they are great. I, like him have 4 blessings. 2 Girls and 2 Boys. And proud? Every one is as good or better than I! And each one a different person! With their own interests!

I am a computer nerd. I love them and sink into their innards with glee! None of my children have developed that love.

One loves the Social side. She will be a great advocate. One loves art! He is good! (I cannot draw a straight line). One loves Animals, and will be a great Veterinarian. And the last? The next great movie producer! yes, he does love movies, but he is so good at analyzing them!

And all are good enough to be the best! And I am very proud! Just like CM, i count my blessings. One child has Dyslexia. One another minor problem. But all are excelling! And I am proud!

Mine are older than CM's. Hell the youngest is a teenager! But all are fantastic great and wonderful children!

Thanks Chaos Manager! For reminding me of what life is all about.

our children are our greatest blessings.

imho.

my son loves computers too, rebuilds them, loves to take them apart and clean them, figure them out. And he's good at it.
He also loves animals, to the max. He's a good son to me, helps me with so much stuff! When I came home from the nursing home
there was a huge bag of Lay's potato chips hiding in my closet waiting for me! Oh joy

something that nursing homes don't provide!
He also is into movies, has tons of them, he notices the little mistakes that most of us miss and gets a kick out of being observant.
He tinkers with his car, some. Would do more if we had a place where he could do that without breaking the lease.

My daughter loves music and can dance like a pro. She's an accomplished cook, learned to cook no thanks to me! she can cook
Cuban, Mexican, and has learned how to do things better in the kitchen than I learned at cooking school!. She knows fashion, knows
how to dress. She also learned how to work in an office, using different machines, both things I detest. She used to love physical
things like track in HS however her children keep her busy enough now!

So yes, my blessings too are my kids, just like yours and CM. Thank you for helping to remember to honor them.

Yes, as arrows.....blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.

My three boys are such a blessing to me as well. Like yours...very different. One is gentle and sensitive while the other is rough and tough (but inside is really Winnie the Pooh). The third is reflective and will make a great journalist someday. He loves to write and run....alot.

All different but all a blessing just the same.

Thanks doc. I was reminded again this past weekend how nice they are. We moved from Petersburg to Hampton (job moved) so they got put to work. Those that could help, helped. The others ... encouraged.

My daugther, bless her heart, was little miss encouragement all weekend. Everytime we turned around, she was poking her head out one door or another and saying "Y'all are doing such a good job."

And then grinning at us to beat the band.

My five blessings are four girls and one boy. My oldest will probably follow in dad's footsteps and become a writer, although she'll probably be more financially successful because she's a good illustrator as well. My second daughter will probably be the first female president of the US...sharp as a whip and a good communicator. My third daughter will definitely be a performer...a comedian, rock star, actress, and or activist, or a combination of all of the above. With my youngest daughter, she's too young to tell. And look for my son to be breaking into the M's minor league camps in another 17 years or so.
