Izabella. So very true! We are so blessed with so much! It really is well worth counting our blessings!
I do know that "everyday hassles" can be very bad stressors. The Psychology research reveals as much. The stressors on life here in the West are often performance oriented and often under time-pressure. It's a kind of social pressure, trying to meet the expectation of others. To live under the threat of war, of famine, death, no medicines or medical aid, such conditions are almost unimaginable for us. But it does not hurt to be grateful for the ordinary things which we take for granted.
I was taught to be grateful years ago when I went to a lecture by a modern Prophet. He said it was like a secret of life! In those days we still paid our bills with cheques. He told us, when you pay your electricity bill, write on your cheque, "Thank you for my electricity. I have really enjoyed using it."

Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
