What is Blessing?

And how do I count mine?

Once the seed of faith takes root, it cannot be blown away, even by the strongest wind — Now that’s a blessing. Rumi

What is blessing

2. a prayer asking for divine favour and protection
3. grace said before or after a meal
4. a beneficial thing for which one is grateful 
5. a person's sanction or support

How do I count my blessings?

Based on the above 5 definitions, this is how I count my blessings.

1. I thank GOD/Lord/Nature/Mother Earth/Spirits/Divine/Love for continuous blessing, for me, my friends, and family. 
2. I pray to GOD/Lord/Nature/Mother Earth/Spirits/Divine/Love that just like today, may my tomorrow also get continuous blessing, for me, my friends, and family. 
3. Whenever I eat - bother before and after, I thank GOD/Lord/Nature/Mother Earth/Spirits/Divine/Love, for the food on my table, for me, my friends, and family.
4. Whenever I feel low, angry, jealous, or hurt, I look around: my beloved family with me, a roof over our heads, a fridge full of food, clothes to cover our bodies, money in our pockets, and all other blessings, I/we have. If I start counting them, it will take me many hours, if not days. 
5. Whenever I'm going to do something major, after asking GOD/Lord/Nature/Mother Earth/Spirits/Divine, I ask for my family's blessing, or in some cases my close friends' blessing.

Each breath I take is a blessing!

My 2 cents for you to take away

Count your blessings, every day, multiple times.

Take an inward journey — talk to yourself.

Go on an outward journey — seek the GOD/Lord/Nature/Mother Earth/Spirits/Divine/Love.

If you do that, and be kind; miracles will happen.
