Blessings

I'm way behind on all my award stuff and memeing, but as I've come to a convenient pausing point between what I wanted to say about codependency and intend to say about autism and about my marriage (I'm not sure which first yet). So, I thought I'd take this opportunity to acknowledge and pass on a long neglected blessing I received from Moonmaid. (In addition, I've been blessed several more times down the chain by R, Mantra and (as part of the CF Crew) Junky's Wife.) I'm quadruply blessed, which I love, because I can use all the blessings I can get! Thank you all for contributing to The Year of Happy.

The blessing started with Ukok and we are each to bless three people:

The idea… it’s a game of tag with a difference, rather than looking inwardly, we look outside ourselves and bless, praise and pray for one blog friend. By participating in this endeavour we not only make the recipient of the blessing feel valued and appreciated, but we are having some fun too. We’re going to see how far the bloggin’ blessings can travel around the world and how many people can be blessed! Recipients of a bloggin’ blessing may upload the above image to their sidebar if they choose to. If you receive a bloggin’ blessin’ please leave a comment on this thread here so that we can rejoice in just how many blessings have been sent around the world!

I've decided that I want to take this opportunity to bless three newer readers I've been enjoying making a connection with and getting to know. So, storyteller, Moanna and Melissa, this blessing is for you.

I wanted to bless you all with one of my favorite poems, but I couldn't find one that fit. Apparently, the poetry I like is either depressing or love poetry (I love you all, but I'm not in love with you) or both. So, I will bless you with one of my favorite songs. Here's Cat Stevens with "If You Want To Sing Out, Sing Out" courtesy of Radio Blog Club. (Hope this works!)
