As always, a special thanks to Melissa at Making Things Up for her continued inspiration on the Friday topic!
************
My blessings -- they are legion indeed
Friends, family -- couldn't ask for better
I'm employed -- gainfully, job I enjoy
My house is cold when I
want it to be and hot
when it needs to be hot.
Food is readily available -- nutritious too!
Lights are on, water is fresh
Two darling kittens basking in sunshine
await me when I arrive home.
My clothes are clean, relatively new
I sleep in a soft bed --
freshly made just to my liking.
I can express myself without fear
of reprisal, repression or jail time.
Fresh air, clean water, blue skies
all await my arrival to outside
And -- lucky me -- I've found someone
to make me smile, daily, often
Count my blessings? WHERE TO START?
And you, dear readers, are blessings
I treasure your comments, suggestions, stories
You make me want to improve, learn,
craft, hone each entry like mirror.
Reflecting me, reflecting you, reflecting us.
I count my blessings -- Thank you.

What a great listing of things most of us take for granted, but should be thankful for. (Stopping by from Six Word Fridays!)
Oh Athena, way to hit all the important points! Thank you for that moving poem.
Cheers to all your blessings! And a special tip of the hat to expressing oneself without fear.
These little things we forget to remember, but if you do not have them they are no little things.
Spot on!
Blessings indeed! :)
Blessing: having all you really need. :)
Isn't it incredible how, sometimes, we fail to notice and be grateful for the basic necessities of life? Thanks for the reminder.
Namaste..........cj
