Losing something or someone gives you more space and chances to welcome and receive. Every hurt and pain gives you tolerance and strength, as well as the wisdom of knowing how to heal oneself. Every sadness and bitterness makes you appreciate life’s other joys. Every shortcoming and inadequacy makes you realize the fact that you can’t have everything, and that you need not worry about having and hoarding too much. Everything is a blessing. As a song I repeatedly sing goes, “Count your blessings instead of sheep… and you’ll fall asleep counting your blessings.”
