And I even wrote a post where I complained about and listed all the things that have gone wrong up to this point in my day. And there were lots of things.
But then I felt bad. Because, here's the thing...
My life is not hard. I really have nothing to complain about. My family rocks. They are my best friends. My husband is number one. He is so good to me and works so hard. I am so lucky to have a good job. My boss has taken such good care of me the past couple years. I am able to go to school. For free. I live in a cute place with everything I could ever want.
I. Am. Blessed.
So I chose to erase my original depressing post, and instead I am just going to leave you with something to think about.
Isn't this the truth...

I loved this....AND I really needed this today too. Thanks, S.

Such an insightful man that Plato!
ReplyDeleteI need to remember to step back and count my own blessings every now and again too!
wow, love this quote and something we all need to remember! No matter what we are going through today, there is ALWAYS someone who is going through something worse...we just need to see through the clouds and no the storm will not last and like your quote, no that we are blessed and that others are fighting a battle today too!
ReplyDeletebe blessed...

ReplyDeleteyou are so right. i have crappy days and think i have the worst life ever - but then i step back and am like "um, not really." i am very blessed myself! i think we all have days like that.
ReplyDeletesuch a good reminder too - thanks!
I love this. Great thought for the day. Don't forget, though, that you don't have to live a life of struggle to feel like you're struggling through life. You can be thankful and feel overwhelmed too. : ) You're in my thoughts and prayers girl.

I love this. So many people get caught up in themselves and forget that everyone else has their own hard stuff going on.
ReplyDeleteAnyone need something to make them feel better. I have a giveaway over at Pretty Little Mountains. Tonights the last night!
That's a great quote! Don't mind me if I steal it and plaster it on my facebook. :D

So true! Sometimes we complain about silly things, when in reality we should be so grateful about all the things we have.
ReplyDeleteThat is just what I needed to hear that today - thank you for the reality check!
ReplyDelete* hear today
ReplyDeleteSee - one of those days. :)
That's a great quote, and a good one to remember!
ReplyDeleteThanks for that.
So true. I love this! But sometime's we all have our days, no matter how blessed we are.
ReplyDeleteA few months ago hubs was working out of town and I was trying to find us somewhere to live so I could move with him and it was SO stressful doing it by myself. My best friend came over and asked how I was doing and I totally started crying! I told her how stressful it was doing it all by myself then I stopped. Her husband just died a few months before that. I was horrified and apologized for being a baby about something so small when it could be so much worse. She told me it was totally fine, we can't compare our stresses, heart aches, trials etc. That has totally stuck with me!
Now that I've just written a novel, it's nice to meet you! :) And I love your blog!
I understand, it's been one of those weeks ;)
