count your blessings

We've all heard this one many times, but have you done it recently? In your journal, or a piece of paper that you will keep, write down:

• the names of everyone that you love
• the names of every that loves you
• everything that you have done that you are proud of (ex, graduating, winning award, finishing paper, entering contest, taking trip, having child, etc.)
• the things that you have been able to attain that bring you happiness
• the places you have visited that you enjoyed
• the people that you have met that you gained the most from
• your character traits that you think other people admire in you
• the character traits that you admire in yourself
• the things that you have done that you thought you could never do

Quite a list! When you are done, you will be in a wonderful state to create! Try it!
