Count Your Blessings

By: Sharon Monteiro

Thanksgiving is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November.

It is a great time for you to count your blessings and be thankful for what you have in your life.

So what can u begin to be thankful for right now?

• The gift of life…you get up every morning to a new day
• The gift of choice…you can choose to be happy or sad
• The gift of your body…you have all your body parts in place
• The gift of your five senses … touch, sight, taste, smell and the ability to hear
• The gift of a roof over your head…even if it is small
• The gift of food on your table…even if it is simple
• The gift of friends…who are there to laugh and cry with you
• The gift of family…the people who support you even if they sometimes drive you crazy
• The gift of your job…there are so many people who do not have a job

The more you create an awareness of the gifts you have in your life, the more gifts will come your way. On the other hand, if you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never have enough. That is the law of the Universe. Whatever you think about, you bring about.
