Ever know anyone who is perpetually unhappy? OK, let's just put it out there this way. I've got plenty of reason to be unhappy in life. 2 dead kids isn't exactly a cause for celebration ok? And yeah, I'm not exactly the bubbly perky chick I once was, sometimes I'm downright depressed. But damn it, overall, I'm happy! I choose to be happy. And I really believe that some people... well, they don't neccessarily choose to be unhappy, they just don't choose to be happy. They just always have something to complain about. I know you know the type.
Well fer Chrissake, they need to get over it. No one's life is perfect, and you sure as hell aren't going to make it any better by wallowing in self pity. Have a problem? Fix it! Do what you have to do to improve your situation. And in the mean time, remember what you DO have instead of whining to everyone else about the things you think you lack!
I think we all can take some advice from this. I know I often spend too much time whining over the petty stuff. But I think I devote an equal or greater amount of time to being content and happy with what I have. But still... we all could do better, couldn't we?
ReplyDeletemommyleek's right, and it's part of why I'm suddenly laying low -- keeping my ick off of others, you know, even though my current unhappy is more like disgust than sadness. :-)
