Let's Count Our Blessings
What a week in our history these past few days will prove to be. In Victoria many people have lost lives, homes and possessions - more than all previous devastation caused by fire. I think this is an opportunity for all of us to acknowledge the many good things we have in our lives. When everything is ripped away from us we have the chance to realise how much we had.
The state of Victoria is in mourning for lives lost in the fires that ripped through the countryside. Most of us will have a connection to somebody who has suffered loss. A couple of weeks ago I drove through and walked in the areas that are now blackened. As I looked at the pictures of the fire ravaged areas and the people involved I couldn't help but shed tears.
How precious is the life we have and so much to be grateful for. Develop an attitude of gratitude for what you have and you will get more good things. Focusing on lack and loss encourages more of the same.
Best wishes,
Mary King
