This year I want to focus much more on the positive things rather than all the negativity in the world. I thought it would be fun to have a place for us to share our blessings - big or small - so we can all share some positive vibes :)
Here's my first blessing - I'm blessed to be doing what I love! I was watching the sun come up as I fed the calves this morning and, even though it was a bit chilly, it was wonderful to be at home on my farm and not feeling the dread of going back to work today.

My first Blessing is all my family, my guys are so precious to me and I could not live without them. I am so happy to have the amazing life I have:-)

We were very blessed for the arrival of our first grandchild in 2025 and my middle son getting married to a lovely young lady. Also we are very blessed to have good health, each other, and our friends.

I love this idea Heather! We all could use a lot more positives in our lives. I am blessed to be able to stay home and raise my children. It's the best job I could have ever been given.

A HUGE blessing for my family a few days ago:
A tornado touched down in southwest Michigan - about a mile from my sisters house. She and her family are all fine. Her in laws house had some major damage (windows all blown in, garage door is folded in and broken up, there are cracks in the house, etc) and a structural engineer has to inspect it to see if it's safe to fix or needs to come down. But it could have been a lot worse.
This is the path of the tornado:

complete destruction. See the 2 brown I'm assuming roofs near the water. Use them as a reference point for the next picture.
This is her inlaws house:

miraculously, still standing.
I'm so thankful for this amazing blessing!

Thankful for your family; it could have been so much worse. Good thoughts for those that were worse.

Thank goodness your family is all right! The March weather has been wild. I hope there will be no more tornadoes!

Heather, I am so glad your family is safe. What a sad situation. I sure hope everyone else in the tornadoes path is alright.
