Once again, the holiday has got me thinking.

How do you  "Count Your Blessings"?

What do you really value in your life?

I lost a close member of my family a year ago.
Why does it have to take such a loss for you to realize just what really means the most in your life?
I am thankful for the time I have with my family and close friends.
I am thankful for the comforts I have that some others do not.
I am thankful for the roof over my head, the family & friends in my life, so many things large & small.
How do you count your blessings & what all are you really thankful for?
Don't let the small things let you down today or tomorrow.
In end the small things that may upset you one day don't really matter in the end.

I agree it is a good idea to count your blessings. Also to enjoy your time with your friends and your family.Good article.

I usually do it like this: One blessing, two blessing, three blessing, and so on, depending on how many I've got.
I knew I could count on you Soren...lol

I value my family. My wife and my children.
A little like Soren.
But seriously-

The older I get the more I have learned to count my blessings,
in whatever form they arrive.

I try to remember to count my blessings each and everday instead of focusing on the negative. My mom was dx with breast cancer over a year ago and it changed my life. Now I am thankful for each day that I have with her especially, and the rest of the many people in my life that I love and am loved by.

Yes too often we focus on what we don't have ,instead of all that we are blessed with !
