Do you sometimes feel like a victim?\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Each day I try to focus on my blessings, not my misfortunes–and I try to be positive and humble no matter what situation I am in.<\/p>\n

Monday we lost power due to a severe storm with high winds and lots of rain.\u00a0 We lived without power and water for three days and two nights.<\/p>\n

The house was cold and being unable to shower made me start to feel grumpy and irritated and depressed.<\/p>\n

Then yesterday just before 9 pm, the power suddenly came back on.<\/p>\n

As soon as it came back on, I did things with pleasure that are normally mundane tasks.\u00a0 The laundry, the dishes, cleaning the wooden floors, scrubbing the toilet.\u00a0 And I actually showered for the first time in four days.<\/p>\n

All the while, I was thrilled to be doing each thing.<\/h4>\n

Thanksgiving is just a few short weeks away.\u00a0 It is a time when we reflect on all the things we are thankful for.\u00a0 I am thankful for my loved ones, for freedom, for my abilities to write and to play the piano, for having a roof over my head and food on the table, and also for basics like running water and electricity.<\/p>\n

I count my blessings, not my problems.\u00a0 Especially when life does not go as planned, like the past three days during the aftermath of the storm.\u00a0 For the past few days, I have been thankful many things too—a roof over my head, food to eat, and\u00a0 a wonderful loving husband and two \u00a0loving small dogs.\u00a0 But today I have even more to be thankful \u00a0for, and I am definitely very very very thankful today.<\/p>\n

I could have simple viewed myself as a victim of Monday\u2019s storm, but I chose to be victorious each moment for the past few days by being thankful for what I had.<\/p>\n

If you are struggling in your life and are considering making a single positive change in your life, try counting your blessings every moment you are alive.\u00a0 Counting blessings will enable you to see yourself as a Victor not a Victim. Being a Victor will help you to overcome depression, anxiety, and many other problems in your life.<\/p>\n

Count your blessings and being victorious in your life.<\/h4>\n
