Ya know? I think I've completely earned my right to be negative, grumpy, miserable, and blah. I've lived through sleepless nights with three monsters. I've buried a parent. I'm a work widow. I've had my female parts removed, replaced and they still want to do a surgery or two more. I smiled through chemotherapy and radiation. I over commit. I volunteer too often. My car breaks down (A LOT). Bruce (Keegs fish) died. I have a hang nail.
I think I've earned the "right" to complain if I want to. So I've decided to have a vent session; I'm going to complain!!
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOOO sick and tired of everyone COMPLAINING!! About EVERYTHING!!
About your job-I promise VERY few people like their job all of the time. It's why you receive pay for it, it's WORK.
About being tired- EVERYONE is tired. It's called LIFE. Drink a cup of coffee or a soda and move on.
About a school function/coaches/volunteers-VOLUNTEER YOUR TIME AND CHANGE IT. {Oh, you're too busy? That's what I figured.}
I could go on and on, but you get the point.
So, I'll stop yelling:)
Recently, I had to remind one of my loved ones that it is VERY difficult to live with someone that is miserable. When you can't find happiness in your heart, you bring the people around you down with you. It's exhausting to try to remain positive when you're surrounded by negativity.
And why?! Is your life really THAT bad? I understand that everyone is fighting a battle. Trust me, I get this!! But, I THINK (and hope and pray) that if we all focused on things like...
I'm so tired. I'm very fortunate to have this baby keeping me up all night long. I have MANY friends that would love nothing more than to have a baby keeping them up all night long.
This job is a dead end, but I am so fortunate to have a job. Many families in this area are not so fortunate.
I'm not satisfied with this sports/school/after school program. I'm going to attend a meeting, ask questions and see if I can help!
I THINK that if we all focus on our blessings instead of reinforcing all of the negative that life seems to throw our way, that everyone wins. Smiles are contagious, ya know!?
If you are really thinking your life just sucks, give me a holler. I'll give you a story (or 10) that will make you realize how very blessed you are.
Ahhhh, I feel better now. Don't you? ;) Spread some HOPE and CHEER this Christmas season!! Be thankful for each day as it truly is a gift.
These are five of my favorite blessings:)
