Count Your Blessings

There are things I yearn for, I call them “the big breaks.” I’m so fixated upon them, that the little ones pass by unnoticed, even though they wagged in my face. Then there are blessings that come as losses, sadness would not let me appreciate them. How do I count them as blessings?

Everything is a blessing, depending on how you see it. If he made you cry a few times, remember the many times he made you smile. You couldn’t eat today? Fantasize about the last time you ate. Count the little drops as they trickle, soon they’ll turn into a mighty ocean, and drown you in Joy.
