Cover #3 - "Count Your Blessings"

in #music6 years ago (edited)

I wonder if it's the beginning of the year or someone is trying to get this message across, I've been seeing lots and lots of posts regarding 'thankfulness'and 'grateful'. I guess it's something essential to sustain us. Without it, the world would seem like it crumbling down upon you due to complaints and dissatisfaction over every single thing.

I personally am very gifted. Gifted in complaining. My complaining skills have often times caused a waiter to change my food that was being served or a customer service representative to quickly solve my problem. But little did I know I've come to develop a short fuse. Something that doesn't bode well with parenting. Or even just healthy, happy living.

The antidote of all that is definitely a grateful attitude. It's a character trait that can be honed and developed. A grateful person is also very attractive as well. People tend to gravitate towards such people. I, for one, wouldn't like people to shy away from me just because I always behave like an ungrateful brat.

"Count Your Blessings" is actually a hymn that my mother taught me to play when I was really young. It has a catchy tune to it. I decided to put a twist to make it slightly more relaxed, providing a peaceful and calming effect (hopefully). Hope you enjoy my take on this song. :)
