I have been thinking a lot about focusing on the blessings, rather than thinking or worrying about what I do not have. So, I decided to just start being thankful and calling out that which I do have. I was just looking around and speaking and then it got to be that I was calling out things which could not be seen, necessarily.
In my list were those things that were so small, so irrelevant to most people yet large to me. I have the ability to do so many things. I can breathe, walk, blink, move,think, hum a tune in my head, see with both eyes, remember things from my childhood that bring me happiness at the thought of them, care about others, do something to help someone else, teach others so they can increase their knowledge and grow, offer my assistance to others, laugh and make my heart happy and so on and so on. I was absolutely amazed when I started thinking of all the things I could think of. Sometimes the thoughts were coming to me so quickly that it was scary yet fun.
So, try it. Think of what you do have. Do not allow your mind to list anything other than what you do have. See what you come up with.
I found that I had so many things that whatever was missing was not missed. Somehow I just know things are going to work out. What a great feeling!!!

Your thoughts and then findings reflected needed no reflection in me. I had little and found with just being thankful that I have plenty. Thus, even though I am aged I think youthful...at over fifty still playing cricket -- running and thankful to GOD for rich health. I like to support those interests, which border on fishing as against eating fish. In fact I do not I do not teach them to fish but just make them think of fishing ....it is best to strive for what sustains one tomorrow than the absentminded pleasures of today ....
Just like you I do not wonder I enjoy and give thanks..Just some thoughts..
