Losing Count

 

The secret of an abundant life

is to start counting your blessings.


When we worry about traffic,

waiting in lines, or the government,

we miss out

on fragrant summer breezes,

colorful rainbows

and the drama of the clouds.


Giving attention to negatives

neutralizes awareness

of the marvels that surround us.


When we gossip, criticize or dwell

on what we don't have,

we can’t see the graceful butterflies,

hear the musical rhythms,

or experience the joy of silence.


Rather than counting troubles, try

losing count of your blessings.
