Counting Your Blessings

I have been in some excruciating pain the past two days.  Between my back and my tooth, I haven't known which end was up.  It seems this always happens when the weather turns colder around the holidays, so for those of you that I work for I hope you understand.  I'm off to hobble to the store for a cup of hot tea in the hopes that adding some warmth to my aching bones will help.  Do others of you feel the same way when the cold winter winds kick in?  I try to count my blessings when it does and be thankful for the blessings I have – that I am able to get up from my bed each morning even if I am sore and aching.
