If you wanna post your own daily sets of three blessings here, or even one set, or any number of sets in between, I’d love to have you along for the ride. Just email me at benjamin.ady at gmail.com (you’ll have to change that “at” to an “@”. It’s written that way to avoid spam) and put “please add me to 3 blessings” in the subject line, and I’ll add you as a user. Oh–you’ll also need to sign up for a free wordpress account if you don’t already have one. It’s easy. Just go to the signup page at wordpress.com
Hey Ben… I like the idea of this blog… but I’m terrible at remembering to do things every day. Can I come on board even if I admit ahead of time that I’m likely to forget to post daily?
Beth,
No of course you needn’t post every day. I’d be stoked for you to post whenever you feel like it. I’ve added you as a user. Welcome.
Hiya Bens,
I like coming here it helps me feel better and even thought I wont be able to do this every day I would love to be able to add my 3 from time to time. Kat
Kat
That would be awesome for you to add your own three from time to time.
I don’t have an email address for you. Do you have one?
You need to set up a wordpress account, which means you have to have an email address. If you can do that on your own, no problem. If you can’t or don’t, I can do various things for you, since you are my sister, and you rock. I could set up a free web based email address for you at gmail, and then set up a wordpress account for you. Or I could set up a wordpress account for you under an email of your choice, you’d just have to activate it from the email they send you.
All that so you can post here. I can’t add you as a user until you have an account. It’s no that hard, ya know
Let me know. Here or email me at Benjamin.ady at gmail.com. except you have to change the “a” to “@”, and kill the spaces. I mean I know you know this stuff. We type it that way in public places to avoid spam bots.
Glad it makes you feel better! Me too.
Hi Benjamin,
Ya I have an email its phyrefaire at yahoo.com. I would love it if you could set it up for me. I googled word press but it looked intimidating and since I just got home from work I didnt really want to try to figure out. Oh, and my blessings today. So kewl
(Kat–I reposted the 3 blessings you inlcuded as a proper post. Good luck with the setting up an account. It’s not too hard, I guess. If you need further help, email or call and I’ll walk you through it.)
[...] Add your own three blessings [...]
[...] Benjamins blog and write your own [...]

this is such a cool and uplifting blog. i hadn’t seen it before. i love this idea. everyone should do this. i don’t know if i’d have the discipline tho. but i felt uplifted by reading yours and tearful when i got to the bit about megs and the girls running down the road to meet you and you feeling great. i hope i can do that one day with sam and my children when he is returning from work or somewhere.
