count blessings
Tally good fortune
To count blessings is to reflect on the good things in one's life, especially as a way of cultivating gratitude or gaining perspective during difficult times.
The phrase often appears as advice: Count your blessings—at least you have your health.
Someone who counts their blessings acknowledges what they have rather than dwelling on what they lack.
