Perspective

I was having a grumpy day. I have tons of work to do and very much don't want to do it. It is tedious and boring and makes me want to pull my eyelashes out of my head one by one. Poor poor me.

So, in the vain of procrastination, I went onto Facebook. Here I am, scrolling through my News Feed, and I get to this post made by a woman who is in a Mom's Group that I sometimes attend (OK, twice... I'm not much of a joiner). She writes:

ISO coupons for food. We are short and need a little help with food this week.

Can you imagine how tough it would have been to post that amongst 'friends'?

And then, once again, I am reminded how good I have it. Yes, building a database makes my eyeballs bleed. But my belly is full (too full probably), I have a roof over my head, my family is healthy, and my babies are happy.  What do I have to be grumpy about?

So, I say be grateful today. Take a good look around and realize just how good you have it.
