present blessings

(The Mississippi River at sunset from The Fly...not bad for a Blackberry photo)  

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

My present blessings:
Watching the sunset over the Mississippi River with friends
Having someone who wants to take care of me, forever
A family that, despite distance, remains closer than ever 
Friends to make me laugh and bring joy into my life
Opportunities, big or small, for exploring and adventure
Health, happiness, and a roof over my head
