4 Blessings, all at once

So much for being consistent with the 52 Blessings Project posts. Somehow I got off track. But since I started the project, I'm going to continue....

#28 Wellness

It's pretty much a given that when some part of you is out of sorts, you appreciate your full health more when it returns. This week was my first full-functioning week since my July 9th gum graft. I even ate an apple the other day!! Big news, right? (I will appreciate knowing this when I have my next graft.)



#29 Excercise

Yes, I'm considering excercise a blessing. I worked out out every day last week, Monday through Friday, and it felt like a blessing! Perhaps another effect of being compromised for awhile. Hopefully this optimism continues.


#30 Scriptures and #31 The Ensign

Taking the time to partake of some spiritual food has been a blessing. It's always there for the taking. How often do we snack on it and not feast on it? I've noticed when I really take it in it affects all aspects of my day - for the better. Makes me more aware, alert, in-tune. Helps me feel more centered, less scattered.

Some of my favorite articles from recent Ensigns:

Coming to Know for Ourselves

The Spiritual Component of Healing

May We So Live

I clicked over and re-read President Monson's talk. He is so great! Thanks for the uplift.
