So I’ve been kinda down in the dumps lately for several reasons. But the other day it just sort of hit me, I have a fantastic life! I have way more than I deserve. Why in the world am I focusing on the negative things and feeling sorry for myself? I should be focusing on the good things I have in life and use them to help others who aren’t as fortunate as me! No more feeling sorry for myself when I basically have it made and others out there are struggling to put food on the table.

~So work has been a bear lately, but I have a job!
~So I am super busy and haven’t had the time I would like to read or blog lately, but I have amazing friends who love me and keep inviting me to things!
~So I’m stuck at home all day working while missing the gorgeous weather outside, but I get mail and tweets/texts all day from friends telling me they’re thinking of me!
~So I have a dog who needs to go outside at the most inconvenient times, but I have a dog who loves me unconditionally and relies on me to take care of him.
~So I have to travel for work every 6 weeks and it’s a pain, but again, I have a job. And I get to see friends and family when I travel!
~So I’m still super pale because I haven’t had time to be outside much lately, but I’m probably avoiding skin cancer in my future. haha
~So I am about to run out of contacts and had to schedule an eye exam, but I’ll probably get a new prescription and be able to see 10x better!
~So I’ve not been the best child of God lately. I haven’t been spending as much time with Him as I should and want to, but his mercy is new every morning, He forgives me and still loves me anyway.
~So technology doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to, but hello! Technology. It’s awesome and I take it for granted.

Why do I complain and feel sorry for myself sometimes when I have far more than most people in the world. Who do I think I am to expect want more? I think I’ll let this video speak for itself.
