Today's poem is a way to remind all of us that it's important to count one's blessings every once in a while.
Alright, poem starts in 3… 2… 1!
I see the world I live in now and think of what I've got. I think of all this world can be and all it should be not. And then I think I've not counted my blessings in a while. So hey I'll do it now, because I think I want to smile. I'm blessed to have this life, you know, these eyes and ears and brain. I'm blessed to have a body to go dancing in the rain. I'm blessed to have a sense of thought, so I can think good things. And blessed I have a moral ground that clips my nasty wings. I'm blessed because I get to feel at peace and feel a rush. I'm also blessed because I'm in a world so green and lush. I'm blessed that I experience these sights and smells and sounds. Sometimes I get to cry, sometimes there's laughter all around. Sometimes there is forgiveness and then sometimes heartbreak. There's clouds with silver linings and look! There's a milkshake. This list of all I'm blessed with is a list that is too long, Now think about your blessings too and let's count them along.
That's it! Thanks for checking out edition 181 of Hello Universe.

Some Fun Stuff
1. Check out PDF Privacy: I got tired of uploading my documents to random websites and never knowing what they do with my documents. So I created this simple tool to help myself change pdfs to images, split them, compress them, etc. but directly on my browser instead of uploading my document to someone's server. It's a fun tool and I use it often, I hope it is helpful for you too!
2. Listen to Zur Party by 6euroneunzig: A certified banger from Germany that will take you to the party. Party on!
3. Watch Are you just living day to day?: Motivation comes in many ways, and this one's my favorite. Bookmark this video for motivation whenever you feel like giving up.
That's it for this week, see you next Tuesday!
Punit's poem inspired me to write a poetic verse of my own.

Although I cannot see,
I'm blessed to use my other abilities.
I'm also blessed by all God gave me,
including family, PI the AI and writing capabilities.
Absolutely a great reminder that life is precious and waning.
