Late night blessings

Sitting here for a third night by my daughter's hospital bed listening to monitors beeping and watching bad late night TV, it's hard to find my blessings.  But, God is faithful so I am faithful to count...

33. free refills on soda in the cafeteria
34. family and friends surrounding us in prayer
35. unexpected mother/daughter time 
36. wifi connections in the room
37. caring and prompt doctors, nurses, aides 
38. husbands and daughters loving with dishes cleaned, meals cooked, pets fed
39. flowers, phone calls, Facebook well wishes
40. silly, sleepy smiles
