The salutation and process of my life are expressed in the affirmation, "I'm blessed!"
I'm blessed is my mantra, acknowledgment that God favors me and thanksgiving prayer;
I'm blessed are words I silently and verbally express each day, beginning just before I arise from my bed and continuing throughout the day until I go to sleep;
I'm blessed is the response that sometimes I make to a greeter who ask me, "How are you doing?" as I gleefully watch him/her perk up;
I'm blessed simply and profoundly declares that God is good to me and that I am aware that all good gifts come from Him;
I'm blessed oftentimes precedes my enumeration of specific blessings I have received that include, but are not limited to, my being alive, food, clothing and shelter, protection, opportunities, God's presence, the indwelling of the Spirit within me who guides and empowers me, hence enabling me to grow, serve, love, enjoy, commune and live in the present;
I'm blessed is my acceptance of my uniqueness and awareness that the spiritual is greater than the material, that I am not body, mind and soul but eternal soul synergistically connected with a temporary body and mind;
I'm blessed is acknowledgment that I am fully surrendered to the Cosmic Power Who is my Source of power emboldening me to count it all joy;
I'm blessed is my testimony and assurance that God will provide everything I need according to His riches;
I'm blessed expresses my desire that the presence of God in me bless the presence of God in you and the presence of God in you bless the presence of God in me;
I'm blessed denotes my foremost and unwavering allegiance not to America or the world even though I am a citizen of both realms but to that eternal realm sometimes called Heaven;
I' m blessed.
Do you feel blessed?
To those who answer in the affirmative I invite you to let us join together and bless God, love ourselves, individually, and each other, and remember, especially now, that we are blessed to be a blessing.
(The author's request. If you feel blessed, I would appreciate it if you would take a moment and write to let me know. This is what Mutuality is all about." Thank you in advance.)

For a time, I perched myself on a flat rock, comparing my life with the Guyandotte River. Just as its tributaries replenish it daily, changing it in some small—sometimes great—degree, so have the day-to-day occurrences of life changed me. Like the ri
