I heard this song on the way to work this morning. It really made an impact on me today.
Yesterday, for some crazy unexplained reason, I was really having a bad day. Simply put, I was in a bad mood. I did not have a real reason for my bad mood - I did have some work issues to deal with, but nothing really extreme. My day yesterday started out fine, no morning hassles when I got the kids up for school - they got up and were dressed on time with no problems, basically it was an easy morning. So, I don't know what happened to put me in my gloomy state, but there I was in a foggy gloom and it lasted all day.
So, when I heard this song this morning, it made me really evaluate things. I could have very easily slipped right back into the same state of mind that I had yesterday and again there was no apparent reason for this state of mind that kept creeping in. I love Martina McBride, not only can she sing and sing extremely well, she sings many songs with so much meaning, including this one. As I listened, I began to think about how I am blessed, and slowly I realized I was the only one with the power to change my attitude/outlook.
And so as I trudged through the day today, each time I began to slip into the gloom, I replayed the song in my head and played scenes from my life that fit the words. I AM BLESSED - I get to hear the laughter of my children each day, I have a husband who loves me, and oh so many more people and things to count as blessings too; and I do thank God each day for what I have, I AM BLESSED!
I am blessed and I hope you are too. Next time you feel down, remember this song and play the scenes from your life that fit, and I hope it helps you to rise above and have a better day like it did for me. I HAVE BEEN BLESSED!
