I've been feeling like I've been whining and complaining an awful lot lately. I feel like I've been running around like crazy and haven't had "me" time since I can't remember when. SO,..... I decided it's time for me to post to remind myself all I should be grateful for!!!
When I have 15 loads of laundry to do....I should be grateful I have running water, an automatic washer, electricity, a dryer and laundry detergent. I guess I should also be grateful we have clothing to wash!!
When I have sink loads of dishes and no dishwasher and no help....I should be grateful once again for running water and also the fact that I have so many dishes to wash.
When I just can't stand to cook another meal....I should be grateful for easy accessible food, prices the are still affordable (and much less in price than other parts of the world) refridgeration and a stove that I can just heat up without first looking for food or other heat source.
When I complain about cleaning beacuse I feel like it's a never ending, non appreciated chore...I should be grateful for a home to clean in a safe neighborhood and plenty of furnishings, carpets, flooring and indoor plumbing to clean.
When I complain about shopping...I should be grateful I have the money and transportation to do it easily.
When I complain about driving the kids to that last function that just throws me over the edge because I've been in the car and/or driving for what feels like 40 hours this week. I should be thankful I have a vehicle, gas in my tank and children that are here with me and healthy to take to these functions daily!!!
When my husband is working for a week out of state and I just feel I need another adult to help me more today....I should be thankful he has employers that treat him well and a job that pays enough for me to be home daily with our children.
I think we all feel overwhelmed from time to time. It is just part of life. My life!! That I truly enjoy (even though I complain). It's a life that's full of challanges, ups, downs, joys, tears, laughter, love and a whole bunch more emotions that I could go on writing, never ending. I am such a lucky person and for that I am GRATEFUL!!!!
