adjective

• feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful
• synonyms: thankful, appreciative

Am I truly grateful for the blessings of each day?  I can still hear my mother, or was it one of my aunts (matronly voice for sure) remind me to “count my blessings”?  That advice looms like a threat in my memory.  Somehow my adolescent brain translated that tone.  I wish I would have been able to appreciate the words.
