A Simple Reminder to be Grateful
Count your blessings, this is such a simple charge and a reminder to be grateful for what we have. Yet in the craziness and the hustle and bustle of daily living stopping to be grateful and count our blessings is often one that we fail to overlook.
Counting your blessings, instead of the losses and focusing on the positive aspects of life can help in shifting attitudes and life challenges.
New Year is a perfect time to stop, reflect and remember to count your blessings, give thanks and be grateful for all that you have.
Count your blessings by smiles, not fears.
Count your age by friends, not years.

Count Your Blessings and Overflowing Opportunities
Count Your Blessings Quote
- Include a few moments of quite time into your daily schedule;
Breath deeply,
evaluate your thoughts,
delete the negative ones
and reset your mind to a positive perspective
by counting your blessings and overflowing opportunities.
Keep a Journal to Count Your Blessings
One way of keeping track of all of your blessings is to write them down a journal.Many people find it helpful to keep a more positive outlook, by recording 5 blessings or things for which they are grateful in a journal.
Some like to record their blessings when they rise, first thing in the morning, others as they end their day.
Whatever works for you, getting a notebook, a journal or even just a collection of papers writing down your blessings will be a more permanent reminder. In time, as you look back on all of your recorded blessings, you will get a sense of the many blessings in your life.

Count Your Blessings Lyrics
- When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessing instead of sheep
And I fall asleep, counting my blessings
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings.

When you are discouraged Thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings Name them one by one,
And it will surprise you What the Lord hath done.
Chorus:
Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your blessings See what God hath done.
Count your blessings Name them one by one.
Count your many blessings See what God hath done.

Count Your Blessings Instead of...
- Count your blessings instead of your crosses;
Count your gains instead of your losses.
Count your joys instead of your woes;
Count your friends instead of your foes.
Count your smiles instead of your tears;
Count your courage instead of your fears.
Count your full years instead of your lean;
Count your kind deeds instead of your mean.
Count your health instead of your wealth;
Love your neighbor as much as yourself.

- This is such a beautiful page and what it says is so true. Most of us have blessings to count whether we think of them that way or perhaps as reasons to be grateful to fate. Blessed by an Angel.
