Counting Blessings

In church Sunday, one of the wise Seasoned Citizens mentioned to me that so much more good things happen to people than bad. But we tend to remember the major bad things that happen. And forget the good that happens most of the time. He calculated that there have been 5 or 6 major bad things in his life. Which prompted me to think about my life. I probably have as many earth-shaking bad things, including the premature death of my father in an auto accident and the loss of our second child at birth. Those things are seared into my memory. Yet, every day nice things happen. I’ve been forcing myself to take note of those and to be thankful. How about you?

Question: Do you focus on the major negatives that happened to you in life and miss the many, many little good things that happen every day?
