If you want to be Happy and lead a peaceful life,you should always count your Blessings. I received this email yesterday and would like to share its contents with you : I AM THANKFUL; For the wife who says its hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else. For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato,because he is home with me and not out at the bars. For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes because she is at home,not on the streets. For the taxes I pay because it means I am employed. For the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends. For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat. For the shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the Sunshine. For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning, and gutter that need fixing because it means I have a home. For all the complaining I hear about the Government because it means we have freedom of speech. For the parking spot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation. For my huge heating bill because it means I am warm. For the lady behind me in Church who sings off key because it means I can hear. For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear. For wearing and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard. For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive. And finally to all those who are reading this because it means that while reading you are thinking of me. LIVE WELL,LAUGH OFTEN AND & LOVE WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART!

i do believe in this!Count your blessings and you will be happy! Sometimes we just tend to concentrate more on our problems that we neglected the blessings we have that others wishes for. Every happenings in our lives i believe are considered as blessings.Even those ugly, miserable and awful things. They are learnings we should reflect on to.
