Four children and a woman sit close together outdoors. Two girls in the centre smile, one hugging a younger child in orange. The woman on the right has long brown hair and winks at the camera. The group appears happy and playful in bright daylight.

Counting your blessings…

Counting your blessings…

A woman with long brown hair winks at the camera, sitting beside three smiling children. Two girls with plaits and one boy in an orange jacket are close together, all outdoors on a sunny day. A street and silver poles are visible in the background.

Do you ever sit there thinking, just how lucky you are? Well today I did and I realised something, I am the luckiest girl in the world! I know I moam sometimes when things aren’t quite going my way but I have a pretty good life in the overall scheme of things. I have three beautiful, healthy children who I adore. I have a happy home and a rather exciting life. I shouldn’t be complaining at all. I have hot food when ever I am hungry and clean water whenever I need a drink. My children and I don’t want for anything, not many can say that. 

Today I decided that from now on whenever I’m feeling down or things aren’t looking good, I need to remember all these things because I really should be counting my blessings. I have three happy children who are my whole world. They are well mannered and behave well (most of the time) They love school and have lots of friends, they’re everything I could have ever hoped they would be. Watching them grow up is a pleasure in itself and I look forward to seeing what they become in the future. I know already, whatever they do I will be proud.

So, no more wallowing in self pity or moaning about things that simply don’t matter. I have so much to be thankful for and I truly am. Life isn’t a practice run and I intend to make the most of every moment that I have. My family are the most important thing to me although I may forget that sometimes but it’s true. My life would be boring and empty without them, they complete me!

Today I really did count my blessings…
