Count Your Blessings 13: Vacation

blessings

Here’s something a little different today. I’m thankful to have the time and the means to take a vacation. I’m not going anywhere and I’m delighted. I am blessed to have some time to just sit back and relax, and possibly tend to my own selfish needs if that be the case.

Just because I’m going on vacation, it doesn’t mean I won’t have some lovely things to share from time to time, so please stick around.

Count Your Blessings 12: Technology

Technology

Technology makes our world a better place to live, but we don’t need most of it. I’m grateful for the wheel and other essential objects and ideas like this that have shaped our world, but some of the technology we implement on a daily basis is just silly. Silly or not, I’m blessed to have access to all the advancements that are out there.

Count Your Blessings 11: Language

Language

Having a way to communicate is valuable. Having more than one way to communicate is interesting. Communication is necessary. Language is a systematic way of communicating using gestures, sounds, words, and writing. Aside from conveying and collecting information, language teaches about the people who use it. The best way to learn about another culture is to learn their language.

I think written language is the greatest blessing in this area because it allows us to document thoughts, memories, history, and so much more. Language is one of those things that allows the human animal to rise above instinct and savagery and act like a human being.
