It's interesting to think of life's ups and downs. We all have them in varying degrees and some have them at the worst possible moment. At times like this we are usually told by someone: "You'll be fine. Eventually"
These can be fairly hollow words to the person receiving the; 'How do you know I'll be fine, it'll get easier?' 'You are not going through this. I am.' 'Don't assume to understand what I'm going through.'
I hope to be the kind of person that people feel they can talk to and not someone who will simply spout the usual lines people think are reassuring. I hope to be the person who listens and gives (if possible) a specific response to any issue or feeling. With that in mind we come to the title of this entry.
Count Blessings
When the chips are down, no matter what the situation is, how dire it seems, search your life and your heart. Count your blessings. If you are struggling to see any good in your life cast a thought over to the people who don't have what you have. Blessings, in whatever form, can be taken for granted. When we are at our worst, we will struggle with the good. Fight for the good. Notice what and who surrounds you.
You are blessed more than you realise. Spare a thought for those not as blessed. This does not diminish what you're going through but maybe looking at the good will make it easier to deal with. Even just for a second.
