Throughout the day collect 100 blessings. Become aware of moments, events, encounters, things you see, hear, touch, smell, whatever brings delight, enjoyment or gladness.

Note whatever is around you that is pleasing:

• the clouds
• the wood of the table
• the wind in the trees
• the colour of someone's hair
• the touch of water against your skin
• a friend's voice
• a smile
• something unexpected
• something of beauty...

Make a record sheet to keep a note.

Finding one hundred blessings in the day is a Jewish custom. Complaining and moaning has become a habit in many places, including schools. This simple activity can change how we look at the day and can transform it. It can begin to bring into school a sense of gladness and thankfulness.
