The things we don't notice until they're gone

Landon has been suffering with back/neck pain since I've known him. Turns out he has a congenital deformation of the spine in c5 or c6 (I can't remember for sure). I know he is often in pain, but he just deals with it. What else can he do? He's been hurting pretty badly for the last several days, and it's made me think about the many things I take for granted because they are constants in my life. Not anything new or necessarily exciting, but certainly blessings. Today I am grateful for the many things in my life that continue to work/do their job/exist despite me not noticing them.
- my health
- my amazing body (producing milk is my super power... what do you do?)
- my intellect
- my talents
- my air conditioner
- my heater
- my electricity
- my home
- my computer
- my internet connection
- my favorite books, shows and movies
- the food in my fridge
- my super awesome car
- Landon's job

This is a greatly abbreviated list, I'm sure, but Landon's football game is about to start and I promised I'd keep Mason out of his hair so he can enjoy it.

Thanks to God for all the many blessings in my life!
