In the midst of so much natural and human-inflicted destruction in the world in the past few days, I found it imperative to acknowledge the blessings that abound in my life for which I am so seldom grateful....
- A beautiful and ancient faith
A God who loves me regardless of my multiple failures as a human being - Parents who are such polar opposites that being in the middle almost makes me sane
- Being multicultural
- Being able to pass for just about any ethnicity
- Surviving my childhood
- My childhood being over
- A mother who writes songs and dances more than I do
- A father who gave me his stern Irish independence
- My 3 year-old nephew being in remission from a brain tumor
- My husband coming home to me alive and unscathed thus far
- Being able to accomplish every major goal I have put my mind, body and soul to
- Bartending experience
- Culinary skills
- A house too big for 2 people
- Long, dark, curly hair
- Full symmetrical lips
- A Sicilian nose
- Carrying my weight in my butt
- Soul, rhythm and candela
- My voice

How about your eyes! This was a very uplifting post. Being grateful is the key to happiness.
Well I figure everyone sees my eyes..it's the only thing I let them see so I'm sure they've already made their opinion about them. I had to let them know about everything else!
You are very beautiful then. Keep being that way, and nurturing those virtues you have and God gave you :-) By the way, your eyes are great. :D
