Count Your Blessings 05: Gravity

Gravity

I’m really not trying to be silly here, but there are several reasons why I’m grateful for gravity. I’ve seen Wall-E and zero gravity isn’t good for my weight (LOL, I am being silly here, a little). Seriously, I thought that the idea of weightless was so cool and still do, but only on a temporary basis.

It would be quite difficult to maintain the human way of life without gravity. We would be constantly concerned with ways to keep ourselves tethered to the ground. I can’t even imagine what would happen to the Fruitarians if nothing ever fell from the trees (being silly again, but not really).

Gravity is a blessing because it keeps us grounded in more ways than one.

Count Your Blessings 04: Creativity

Creativity

Creativity is a blessing, though many may not know it. Creativity and intellect are not guaranteed counterparts. Some people are very smart, but lack creativity to produce something using their intellect. There’s no question that even the simplest of minds is capable of creating amazing things even if only through artistic expression. Creativity is the one defining factor that has made our world, maybe not better, but more appealing and more comfortable. Creativity can arise from necessary, but it doesn’t have to. I’m blessed to a creative person, but even if I wasn’t, I’d still be blessed to live in a world with so many other creative people.

Count Your Blessings 03: Time

Time

Does time really exist or is it simply a manifestation of man’s desire to calculate and control the world in which we live?…uuhhhh whatever.

I’m grateful for my clocks, my watches, my schedules, and my calendars. Time is on my side as long as I don’t waste it. I’m blessed to have a concept of time. I know I won’t live forever and though I don’t know when my time will be up, I grateful to have a concept that lets me plan ahead just in case.
