I never understood the meaning of that hackneyed phase “count your blessings” until I had cancer.
Life was life, full of boon and bane. Why count the blessings?
Then, when going through chemotherapy three years ago, I understood what it meant.
Literally counting your blessings – thinking of something good that happened that, naming the blessing – sets off its own chemistry of well-being.
You don’t have to count many blessings. Just one a day.
That’s what I did during chermo. I created a separate category for blessings in my journal. Each day, I wrote down what had given me pleasure.
It could be a meal I enjoyed despite the onslaught of chemo drugs which is well-known to cause appetite loss. Or the fact that I could eat all the ice-cream (only Ben & Jerry’s, please) I wanted during chemo and still lose weight.
Or a visit from a friend.
The joy of flowers blooming in spring. An email from someone who cared about me. July 4 fireworks over the Charles River in Boston. A day at a summer cottage of a newfound friend made at the hospital.
I could go on. I remember those blessing – but only because I recorded them. When I look back on the months of chemo, I don’t see only darkness of fear and pain. I see the glow of grace and joy, the many blessing I received, and the shining light of the web of friendship and love that my generous friends surround me with.
I always managed to find something to be thankful for each day.
Just writing down the blessing put me in a more positive frame of mind.
I marveled at the wisdom behind the old saying: Count your blessings.
I discovered recently that my instinct to start a blessing journal was the right thing to do.
Recent research on what makes people happy suggests that there are some happiness boosters that work.
University of California psychologist Sonia Lyubomirsky says that those who consciously set time aside to count their blessings are happier, more satisfied people.
The <font color="ff0000">top three happiness boosters:</font>
1) Count your blessings for example by keeping a weekly “gratitude journal”, writing down a few things that cheer you.
2) Do something kind for someone, whether a friend, stranger or relative
3) Smell the flowers
Take time to savor the little pleasures of life: <font color="ff0000">the scent of flowers, a good joke, the feel of the sea breeze in your hair.</font>
A fascinating feature in the Feb 28 issue of Time magazine looks at “the science of happiness”, quoting several psychologists who did research on what made people happy.
Genes play a part. But factors liked one’s life circumstances liked one’s life circumstances (income, marital status, religion, education) contribute only minimally to one’s feeling of happiness.
A 1978 study of lottery winners apparently found that the winners did not end up happier than ordinary folks.
<font color="119911">How many of us often think: I would be happy, if only I had more money, a more fulfilling job, some other lover, a bigger house, more friends and the list goes on.</font>
But may be we forget the things we do have. Maybe we have the full range of our physical and mental faculties. We may have a job. We have a family to love and to love us. We have a network of friends who care. But we take our blessings completely for granted.
One study found that even after a terrible accident, people bounce back and resume normal life and happy activities.
The quote that struck me most in the Time article: “Everyone is surprised by how happy paraplegics can be. The reason is that they are not paraplegic full-time. They do other things, They enjoy their meals, their friends. They read the news. It has to do with the allocation of attention,” said psychologist Daniel Kahneman, a Nobel-prize winner.
So, now you know the secret of happiness. Count your blessings. Start today.
My blessing today? A prata breakfast with a friend, a great to a workday.
~The End~

I agreed with cheerbear leh, sure the mom will heart pain to see her son doing so many household chores.
There is also one time, when my hb reached home earlier than me, he know that that particular day, i need to wash all the clothes, he even help me to wash them all and hang out to let it dry.
But that is of course when my mil is not at home, if not don't know what is she's feeling also when she see her son doing this...
