A whole new look at being grateful...

Tweet

Hello, to all of myLot. Today I was chatting with a dear friend, and she came to the conclusion that I have been allowing life to rob me of my happiness. I remember a discussion I started a while back about this very subject, yet, I guess that it ended up in the bottom of my list of things to remember. I have noticed that my last 4 discussions have been really whiny and I have decided to "man up" as the term goes. We all go through life with hardships, and as someone said, "every one has a story that will break your heart." In other words what she was saying was, "grow up". She lives in the Philippines and is a good friend to my fiancee, with very little money, working hard to provide for herself and her family. I thought about how childish and ridiculous I must have sounded to her when I told her about these discussions. I mean, just look at what I said in one about how I was sad that not even my friends made a comment. I think that with how humble she is, I felt like an ungrateful moron. Have you ever thought that you had it bad and later realized that you were only fooling yourself? I have to tell you, I have a whole new appreciation for those who really do have it hard, and just go through their day with a smile on their face. Its easy to be a ungrateful, but try being humble for one day. Thanks for joining me in this discussion, and I hope that you all have a wonderful day. Keep smiling...
