Life's blessings

I know, I know, I have not been updating my blog......no excuse, just laziness and procrastination. There were quite a few topics I could have pen down but since I didn't it is not as significant anymore.

I just wanted to write about blessings and wonder how come we don't look at the blessings in our life but rather look at what is not right. I guess it is just human nature to focus on what is wrong, what needs to be fixed. How many times does one take time to sit down and count all the good things that are happening in one's life? Not often enough is the answer.

But really I urge everyone to just do this everyday, think about really the big and small blessings. Do not take things for granted. It could just be the fact that your parents are alive and well, you got a great job, you met a good friend today, your husband said I love you even though he says it everyday, you are healthy, your child wanted you to hold him/her today, you have a bed to sleep in, you had a good lunch, you have a roof over your head etc etc.

I am not a super positive person but I know that I got to focus on the good things in my life and as I think about it, I really feel blessed. I thank God for just ALL the blessings he has given me. There is no way to describe it. I am just so thankful.
