Daily Gratitude: I know a lot of people that have gratitude journals. And they even write in those journals. But I also see how they behave during the other 23 hours and 50 minutes. And sometimes I think they forget to see all the blessings that surround them- even in the midst of chaos and drama. Maybe a loved one is in the hospital – or maybe you, yourself needs medical care. Sure that’s upsetting but can you see how blessed you are that you or your loved one has access to such good care and services. Maybe they’re at the end of life and you’re sad, scared and even angry. Can you be grateful that there are pain meds so that they don’t have to suffer as much? Find the simple things. They are there if you just look beyond the immediate difficulty you’re experiencing. When they say “count your blessings”, maybe we should take that literally and instead of counting sheep or counting to ten, we could count our blessings.
