There's a lot of things to be thankful for, the fact that we are still alive today is a big blessing to us, the food that we ate before going to work, the air that we breathe, all the bright and beautiful things surrounded us with, as well the people that we encounter each and everyday. Sometimes, we failed to recognize His blessings, specially those that are small and simple because we focused more on the things that we're praying for, the things that we desire, this will just lead us to unhappiness. Count your blessings, it will help you to appreciate even the little things that you have. Good Day! God Bless

oh you are so right berich we go along accepting everything as our due without ever being really thankful that we are so blessed.we see green trees all leafed out and beautiful shrubs full of bloom and birds flitting about and we often do not adknowledge how gifted we are. this beauty is all around us and it is free. OUr food we take forgranted instead of savoring it for its flavor even our best friend whom we always expect just to be there for us and we forget to thank God for this person's love and caring. We have so much more than we thought we had and to be alive this day and to remember this day is a gift to be opened and enjoyed and appreciated.

yeah,we should appreciate these small things around us which are apt to be ignored by us .It is them that forms the base of our life.I also think we should often keep a appreciated heart .Then we will not have so many unhappiness when we face the so-called fame and gain.

Hi berich, What a wonderful idea to count our blessings. It's the best prayer that I know of. I am thankful for good health, for a loving family, for a home where there is food on the table at every mealtime. I am thankful for the happiness that wells up from within me, for good eyesight to behold the beautiful flowers, for good hearing to hear the birds singing. I could go on for hours and still not have counted all. Blessings.
