When Counting your Blessings Just Isn't Enough

I have found that there are a million and one people who are willing and ready to tell you to be thankful for what you have without even listening to why you aren't counting your blessings. I will say that counting your blessings does help but it doesn't erase the emptiness or heartache that comes once and while for no reason whatsoever. How easy it seems just to give up all that is around you and go back to the way things were. Why is it that we don't know what we had until it's gone? How stupid we can be. I guess my internal beat is just off lately.
