Count Your Blessings


Pink Think: “When I started counting my blessings, my whole life turned around.” – Willie Nelson

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am posting lyrics to one of my favorite songs of all time, and which was also a lullaby my father used to sing to me.

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
from the 1954 movie White Christmas

When I’m worried and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds

If you’re worried and you can’t sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings

***
I am thankful for

a wonderful husband
sweet kids
supportive friends
the gospel of Jesus Christ
good health
the opportunity to write
living in a free country
cotton candy, gumballs, and dental floss
music

Happy Thanksgiving, dear readers! What blessings are YOU thankful for?
