I think we all need to take a minute and realize how lucky we are. I think so many of us get caught up in the things we don't have, the things we want, and the things we can't have. We seem to always dwell on the things that went wrong or how someone failed. When it comes down to it; it is your person failing.
I beg you all today and appreciate what you have. I have a house that I own (which doesn't happen all over the world or 80 years ago in the US), I have a GREAT family (I could be related to Ozzy Osbourne's craziness), I have fabu friends (you know who you are). I also am thankful for my job because #1 I have a job that pays my bills, but #2 I really like my job.
So stop complaining, we all have to deal with things, but we HAVE SO MUCH in life living where we live. Today, stop and watch the sunset, read a book, do something that makes you ridiculously happy and remember that feeling.
And give others a break. You're not perfect either.
Yes, I know I need to take my own advice, and Denae, don't take this personally, this is not a reply to your last post, I promise.

Well, actually Bern, I don't have secret powers. Your mam called my mom and to tell me to blog.
No seriously. I was getting salty, I noticed that everyone else was getting salty then I heard a Canadian begging Americans to vote because he can't and we all seem to take it for granted. Tha Canadian wants to vote because so much of what happens in the US effects the world. We are lucky for the opportunity, eh.
I appreciate you putting some perspective on the day. It is so much easier to complain that to sit back, take a deep breath and remember how lucky we truly are. So, thank you. And yes, sunsets in the midwest are great!
