Blessings in Disguise

Before I begin this post I would just like to point out that the word "disguise" is the most awkward looking word.  It always looks incorrect to me.  It's not, I checked Mr. Webster.  He's the one man who is ALWAYS right but I digress...I finished chapter 18 this evening.  This was an extremely difficult chapter for me to write.  Why was it hard to write, Amanda?  Well, I'm glad you asked.  I had to incorporate romance, family, conflict/resolution, and the beginning of a tragedy  into chapter 18.

I actually found myself getting teary eyed while writing about the family expressing their blessings they had that year. This tradition was started by Granny Day after Sawyer's mother passed away.  Granny Day's blessing that first year was that she got to see her daughter grow into a strong Christian woman who never lost faith even after the chemo stopped working.

Man, that part really got to me.  It made me start thinking about my blessings.  The only conclusion that I could come up with was, "my cup runneth over."  What are you blessed for this year?
