If you woke up this morning with more health than illness, you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week. If you have never experienced the danger of war, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.
If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy.
If you hold up your head with a smile on your face and are truly thankful, you are blessed, because most of us can, but few do. If you can hold someone's hand, hug them, or even touch them on the shoulder, you offer healing, and are therefore blessed. If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing because someone is thinking of you, and because two billion people in the world cannot read at all

...and if you are not addicted to something, have a good relationship with a significant other and aren't overweight to the point where it begins to affect your health (which narrows it down considerably, at least in the US) then you triplely blessed.

I have almost all of that, plus some fool trying to mimic me (and Ronald McDonald). How blessed am I now?

You are both too damn blessed, if you ask me. Call the cops!

Happiness is not filth, unless you are a fly, or perhaps an automonous collective--instead of a self-perpetuating autocracy in which the working classes....
Happiness is an unexpected, unplanned afternoon with the one you love most.

Waking up at 7am, then realising it's Sunday and going back to sleep (although I no longer have that luxury...mostly my eyes pop open sometime between 6.30 and 8, and then I'm unable to sleep again til mid-afternoon)
