"Count your blessings instead of your complaints" I love this quote. On those days when I am feeling a little bit down or fed up it reminds me to be thankful for all that I do have and all that I am blessed with. Earlier this week I had another epileptic seizure. Having seizures is nothing new, this time however I managed to hit my head and face and am now sporting a lovely bruise on my left temple. I wouldn't say I was particularly vein but having the bruise on my face did make me feel a little self conscious and in turn a little down. Then I was reminded of that quote. I think if I wrote a list of all the complaints I have they would probably fit on a post it note,in comparison I would struggle to fit all of the blessings I have in my life on two sides of A4 paper.
I have seen on Facebook that people have been writing down three things a day that they are thankful for so I have decided to do that too. I am going to write three things a day that I am thankful for for a week! So here is today's list
1- The Gospel !!! Nothing makes me happier than the abundance of blessings that come from following the gospel!
2- I am blessed to have all that I need - I am lucky to have a home, a job, and enough food and water to eat. There are so many in this world who do not have these basic things.
3- The wonderful people I have in my life - I am blessed to have amazing people in my life, people who look after me, inspire me, care for me and love me just the way I am!
