Having been homeless in my life before, I still appreciate the little things many take for granted. I have my own comfy bed now which is a big blessing. I live in a house not a shed and the roof doesn't leak; a palace compared to where I used to be. I have enough to eat and I don't have to catch it and cut it up to cook it. I have family around me and I doubt I will ever spend another Christmas alone like before. I have family to support me if I go to hospital and don't have to soldier it by myself like before. I have no ambition to walk the great wall of China in this life time but there have been times in my life when just making it under my own steam to the toilet is a blessing. Focus on the little things in life and don't sweat the big stuff or you might miss the basic blessings. <3
