Counting Blessings

My friend Jacque said something on facebook that really hit home with me.

"People tend to weed themselves out of your life...and I am ok with that. It makes more room for the ones that want to be there."

I often dwell on the people who have left my life. This one because of this, that one because of that...and what she said is true. The ones who want to be in my life, are. They find redeeming qualities and good things about me. They care about me.

The people who aren't in my life aren't there because they don't want to be.

It is too easy to focus on the loss of people but I am choosing this week to think about the people that are a part of my life, not the ones who aren't. It's time to count my blessings and share what I can.
