Daily Inspiration: “Count your blessings. Not your chickens!”

“Count your blessings. Not your chickens!” – Futurist  Jim Carroll

‘’ I’ve been doing this daily quote for just over a year now, and it’s become a bit of a thing. Before anything else, I’m having my coffee and putting together today’s thought.

But it starts before the coffee. This morning, as I was waking up, I spent some time to think about today’s phrase. The word ‘gratitude’ came to my mind – I have much to be thankful for. That was a great thought to start the quote – count your blessings!

My mind drifted a bit, and I thought about how too many people get ahead of themselves, and develop over expectations of success. Caution is always a good watchword….don’t count your chickens before they are hatched!

And in an instant, my mind spun back to the first word — and it made sense to combine the two thoughts in a unique and quirky way.

And with that, there’s the thought process this morning. Enjoy!
