WELCOME TO SOMERSET WEST PRIMARY SCHOOL:

"We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count" – Neil A. Maxwell

Where focus goes, energy flows. If we focus on the negatives, it will occupy our mind and we will feel negative. The moment we count our blessings, that is where our focus will go. We’ll become aware of small things that we can be grateful for and when we do so, we tend to feel better, more tolerant, more creative and productive and we tend to enjoy life more – despite any adverse circumstances.

Take a few minutes and think of what you can be grateful for in your life, no matter how small. Don’t take anything for granted, give thanks for everything and make a point to recognise blessings in your life that you can be grateful for.

And when you feel blessed, go and be a blessing for the people around you.
