Thankful for being Thankful

I wanted to say that many times I find my self "blending" in with today's society of ranting, complaining, lashing out, and complaining about things that really in the end do not matter.

This past Thanksgiving I had stepped back and really thought about the many things that I had to be thankful for...

~That I have a nice warm bed, which means I have a roof over my head and heat for my family.

~I am a little "chubby" which means that I have food for me and my family.

~I have a decent car that can take me to work~which is another thing that I am greatful for these days.

~I do not have too many doctor bills, which I have health insurance that give me a reduction of the bills.

~I am safe, thanks to the soldiers that are keeping harms away from home, and I know our government is "screwed" up but they are doing something!

I sometimes get up in the morning and complain to myself about going to work, at least I have a job to go, I don't have to wear heavy armor, drive down streets and worry if I'm going to get bombed (I'd much rather get tailgated:), I have a little extra money so I can go out to lunch-I don't have to eat MRE's, I can give my family a hug and kiss before I go to work and when I go to bed at night.

I try to vent my anger where it is needed, hungry children, abused children, abused animals, homless people, no cure for cancer and other deadly diseases, stigma toward mental illness', governments and business that run down the hardworking american families, and well anything that just is against peace :)

~simple things in life that are taken for granted.

I try not to find my self getting mad a mad, ignorant people because we need to go back to the simple saying that our elders taught us...
*2 wrongs don't make a right
*kill them will kindness
*your life is what you make it
*if you don't have nothing nice to say then don't say it at all (which I work on that daily :)
*treat others how you want to be treated

I know every one has opinions and I'm also one I dish it out I can take it :)

I believe in God, I witness, I do not preach. To each is own with their religion and beliefs. I am not the judge (nor I never want to be :)

(Ok this all comes from trying to use my debit card 2 times at 2 diffrent locations yesterday and it was declined-which yea I had plenty of $ to cover it, then today I went to dentist and the new insurance policy was not "in the system" yet, getting a phone call from At&t that I need to pay my bill after I have tried calling them for 1 week trying to straighen out my bill that I was promised for the past 3 months that I call every time, so, on so on, then I still have to call a few other companies and "sort Out" my issues with them- all while PMSing!!!)
phewwwww, exhale!!!!!!!!

need to ground myself
