thankful for blessings

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us.

Helen Keller ~ American Blind & Deaf Educator (1880-1968)

they tell us what we are,
who we are,
how we got here,
why we are here,
and what we are required to do while we remain here.
