A lot of times I find myself worrying about anything and everything. I often have to remind myself how blessed I truly am. My life is so far from perfect. There is a lot of things that I am looking forward too that I wish would come sooner but I'm learning to be patient.
I think if we all stopped and looked around at everything we have, we wouldn't complain so much over stupid crap. I love the quote, "Somewhere, there is someone who is happier with less than what you have." You can always have more, always. But if you don't appreciate the bigger things in life like your spouse, family and friends, then you will never truly find happiness. It's sad to think, though, that to some those are the small things and that too many people thrive on money and material objects.
Be grateful for the little things; having a place to live, whether it's a place of your own, with your parents or even on a friend's couch. Be glad you have food to eat and clean water to drink, and clothes on your back. Those things alone are necessities that too many people go without in the world.
Adam and I lived in a motel for two months last summer. Definitely not something we planned but nonetheless we were grateful to have a bed to sleep in every night and we got through it and made it work for the time being. It's something I try to remember when I find myself being ungrateful for what I have.
