When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around. – Willie Nelson

Willie has it right! I have made it a point to say prayers of thanks each night during my bedtime prayers. Even when I my health was at its worst, I said prayers of thanks and I know that helped keep my sanity. Now I have so much more to be thankful for that, by the time I finish my prayers of thanks and for others in need, my eyelids are to heavy to read!

History:

Birthday – Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid (1859-1881) was born in New York City (probably as Henry McCarty, better known as William H. Bonney). He was a ruthless killer who escaped from jail and a sentence of hanging at age 21. He was recaptured at Stinking Springs, New Mexico, but escaped again. At Fort Sumner, on the night of July 14, 1881, he reportedly asked, “Who’s there?” only to be shot twice through the heart by Sheriff Pat Garrett.
