I have a blessed life. In fact,many of us do. You might disagree (rather roll your eyes and say that I know nothing about your life, like I might have done had you made a similar remark) and quote examples to prove how unfortunate your life is. Your gym instructor told you that you are 16 kgs overweight. You scored just 45% in your finals and your parents might ground you for a month. You broke up with your girlfriend or boyfriend of long time and are miserable. Even worse you have a highly complicated love life which will take a couple of hours to explain convincingly to a second person. Or maybe there is nothing special in your life. Just regular, boring stuff. Tragic, eh? Or you might even question me calling my life blessed citing examples that my 'working' hours have increased to 18 hours a day what with the shopping and chopping and ironing and dusting and cooking and cleaning, things I hardly ever did before I married.
And if I already know the things that might be making your life hell, how can I even call your life blessed? Or for that matter mine? Maybe because we aren't in an abusive relationship. Maybe because we weren't brutally assaulted and left to die at a tender age. Maybe because we didn't lose a loved one.
Even though we all have hundreds of tensions which are making our life miserable, if we have even one person to listen to our problems, we are blessed. Even though we might not have the body we have always dreamt of having, we are blessed that all our organs and limbs work okay. Even though there might be reasons to be sad and depressed, if we smile even once in a day, we are blessed. Even though our life is not extraordinary, but even if we have one moment which is special and joyful, we are blessed.
Life sucks! It does. (If you disagree, this post wasn't for you, sorry). But then we have a chance at it and people to share it with and reasons to laugh and enjoy and smile. And that is what makes it blessed. Just focus on the good moments. Despite the increased workload at the end of the day I have someone to share my petty and not - so - petty problems with and someone to snuggle up to at night. I am blessed.
