today was not a very fun day. i felt very tired and out of sorts. like usual, i made myself feel guilty because i have so much to be greatful and thankful for. i had to remind myself of all the blessings in my life.
when i complain about having to get up at six every morning, i remember how there are bed ridden people who would just love to get out of bed and walk.
when i complain about a messy house, i remind myself that there are plenty of homeless people who would love to have my mess and my warm home.
when i complain about doing laundry, i have to remind myself how blessed i am to have clothing that i have enjoyed looking for and buying. there are plenty of people in the world who have only rags to wear, or nothing.
when i complain about cooking, i have to remind myself that there are millions who would love the chance to cook themselves and their families a warm meal.
when i complain about having to go to work, i have to remember that there are so many people right now who have lost their jobs and would love to be going to work themselves doing anything.
when i complain about having too much to do, i remember that i need to be greatful for being alive and having a chance to wake up each day and live a new day.
as you can see, today i did my share of complaining and feeling sorry for myself. i wish that i would remember all these things before i start complaining and be happy and greatful for all that i have, especially all of you, my family. i love you all very much and i am greatful to be a part of such a great family. i am greatful especially for john, he is the best, jared, josh, tova, painter, elissa, will and zaeda. they are the love and joy of my life.
