Counting Your Blessings

If things are going badly or even for no particular reason, I think it's important to remember how blessed you really are.
I am grateful for my partner, for caring for me in my sickness.
I am grateful for my cats and the unconditional love and comfort they give me.
I am grateful for the lessons the hardships I have suffered have taught me. Even though I nearly didn't make it, I have used them to learn and grow stronger. I would not be who I am without them.
I like to take the time now and then to remember these things and really be thankful for them.
What are the blessings in your life? Do you remember them as often as you should?

When we are feeling down or depressed we tend to focus more on the negatives in our lives, and you are right you need to count your blessings because there are so many people in the world who are far worse than ourselves.
I am lucky that I am healthy, I have 4 beautiful cats, I have a roof over my head, I have good friends and a loving family behind me. If I used this more as a mantra it will help me get through the rough times in my life.
