Idioms & Slang – Count Your Blessings

This post is part of an ongoing series of posts from our website that help you learn more about idioms and slang.

Let’s get started

Do you feel lucky to be alive, lucky to have money or lucky to have two legs?

In this case we can say that we count our blessings.
This means we appreciate the things that we have.

It means we do not take things for granted.

My examples

I am happy to have a nice family, nice friends and a nice home.

I count my blessings every day.

Do you ever count your blessings?
If so, tell us in the comment box about the things you appreciate most.
