This inspirational message has been circulating the web for a while, and this morning when I read it I just felt like it was written just for me. There are many things we need to be thankful for even when they are not always apparent at times. Even at my lowest, I try to always remind myself that things are not as bad as they seem and I should count my blessings.
DRINKING FROM MY
SAUCER
I’ve never made a fortune
And it’s probably too late now,
But I don’t worry about that much,
I’m happy anyhow.
And as I go along life’s journey
I’m reaping better than I sowed
and I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
Don’t have a lot of riches,
And sometimes the going’s tough.
But I got three kids that love me
And that makes me rich enough.
I just thank God for his blessings,
And the mercies He’s bestowed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
Oh, I Remember times when things went wrong
And my faith got a little bit thin,
But then all at once the dark clouds broke,
And that old sun peeked through again.
So Lord, help me not to gripe
About the tough roads that I’ve hoed.
I’m drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.
And if God gives me strength and courage,
When the way grows steep and rough.
I’ll not ask for other blessings,
I’m already blessed enough.
And may I never be too busy,
To help another bear his load
Then I’ll keep drinking from my saucer,
‘Cause my cup has overflowed.

My little poet has been at it again. She was whining for me to get her some Taquitos from Costco, but I have been giving her a hard time and told her it’s not school time anymore so why should I still buy taquitos? I only bought them for her to take for lunch while school was on. They are now on summer vacation, and there are no taquitos in the freezer. So what does the Clone do when she wants something? Write a poem for her mommy, of course 
I guess she’ll be getting her taquitos after all then. Check out her poems on her blog.
