This Week's Blessing

Forgot all about the blessing for the week....DUH! :) I chose something that isn't the "obvious" blessing per se, but then again, if you had to sit down and think of 52 blessings, you'd start to come up with the not-so-obvious ones after awhile too!

So this is the blessing I chose this week.....my alma mater, SIU! The 4 years I spent there were some of the happiest of my life. I struggled with "where I was supposed to be" for a long time with respect to colleges, and I think I ended up where I was meant to be. I sometimes wonder how my life would have turned out if I'd gone to Graceland like I planned......who knows! But I think I was meant to go to SIU....I met Karl there, and just that is a huge blessing......

I would definitely put my college years in the blessings category, too! My 10 year honor class reception is this year...and I am in complete denial that I am that old! Anyway, I'd go back to college for a week if I had the chance. It was a BLAST!

I have to laugh at you- acting like you've been pumping out 40 weeks of blessings already & have to struggle to find one! It's WEEK 2! :) But I don't think, regardless, this is a stretch at all... I would def. say it's a rightful blessing! Great Job!
