i am blessed

so i lost my phone. and with it, the # i've used for the longest time. but i've chosen not to dwell on that. nor on the fact that i still don't have a replacement.
because i am still very blessed. i realized this during Mass yesterday, Holy Thursday. for the first time since i can remember, our parish had the most meaningful last supper service. our new parish priest, fr. lari, invited some (sorry for the term) disabled people to participate. and really, what right do i have to complain? i'm not perfect, but i have fully-functioning physical attributes. how can i complain? more is expected of me, in fact. and i resolve to try to do more. much more than what i've been doing with this comfortable life. i've become complacent, and i don't want that.
after Mass, we were invited to have dinner at fr. lari's quarters. yum! yum! food there is always good. and fr. lari, who i hadn't seen in maybe 3 months, remembered me--new hair and all! God bless him for continuing to challenge us to do better.
