I fell into this trap recently when it appeared that things weren’t going well in certain aspects of my professional life and I began to stress out.  When this happened, I lost track of the fact that I have a wonderful wife, a fantastic family, lots of great friends, a nice roof over my head and two cars that run and are paid for. I focused only on things that were missing in my life instead of what I already had. I was waking up at night with feeling anxious and unable to go back to sleep. Then one night when I woke up, the lyrics from an old Bing Crosby song popped into my head: “When I’m worried and I can’t sleep, I count my blessings instead of sheep. And I fall asleep counting my blessings.” I sang those lyrics over and over in my mind and it finally snapped my out of my funk. All I can say is thank you Bing Crosby!
