GIFTED

'Count Your Blessings'...these words, of two of my closest and dearest friends have given me a very fresh, new and a much more positive perspective towards my life.

Today for once instead of reckoning the unfortunate series of events happening in my life and constantly battering and blaming fate, I sat down to count my blessings which were not as much in disguise as I had thought. I just never took out the time to perceive…

and now that I’m aware, I’ve realized... that I am ‘Blessed.’

I am blessed…to be born with two hands and two feet.

I am blessed…with two eyes which show me all that there is to see… and much more.

I am blessed… to be healthy and strong…physically and mentally.

I am blessed… to be born in a Home and not a House.

I am blessed…to be the youngest in the family…pampered endlessly.

I am blessed…to have parents who love me to no extent, respecting my eccentricity.

I am blessed…to have a sister who’s always been my guiding light yet never failed her role as my best friend.

I am blessed… to have true friends... friends who are much more than a support system and no less than family.

I am blessed… to have my dogs… who give me a reason to smile whenever I look at them.

I am blessed… to be independent so I can stand on my own two feet.

I am blessed… to have had a past… which made me the tough person that I am today.

I am blessed… to have such a fine present with a promising future.

A lot is lost by the time we realize all this.

But, I am blessed…to have lost so little in discovering so much…
