Wordy Wednesday: Thankful

"When I started counting my blessings,
my whole life turned around."
Willie Nelson

How simple, yet how powerful...if we all just stopped to count our blessings now and then, how easy would it be to slap a smile on your face and hold your head up high? 

I can imagine the small stuff wouldn't be "sweated", the water would flow more smoothly under the bridge, and bygones would truly be bygones...it is so easy to get caught up in the day to day, to stay down once you stumble, but to my homeslice Willie's point, a simple act of reflection on what we have to be thankful for can be a powerful thing and can turn that frown upside down.
