Blessed (adj.):

1. divinely or supremely favored; fortunate.
2. blissfully happy or contented.

It's unfortunate that only in the face of tragedy do we open our eyes to how beautiful the world is. It's sad that we only see how much we have when we see how much another has lost.

I am blessed. Blessed with a family, blessed with a place to go when it seems that I'm alone. I'm blessed with strength, with love, with support and happiness... I'm blessed with something to live for.

Life is far too fragile to take anything for granted.
