Initially I had this big whiny post in my head about how crappy things were lately. Normally I am one to keep a smile on my face all the time but lately its tough. Water heater blew up last week flooding the basement, my dad was in the hospital for 5 days, we had a absolute tragic and sudden loss of a young family member followed by Chris' truck blowing up and now we are down to one vehicle. Not to mention it blew up while I was driving... on I-75... and my phone was dead. Yeah.. I was that person walking down I-75 in the cold rain on Sunday morning. And then I thought yea this all sucks... bad. But not as bad as others. I always feel like someone has it worse than us so it is stupid to whine about things when you think about others misfortune. The tragic loss of my cousin was awful but even more awful for his 13 year old daughter, his mother and sisters who had to bury him. Thankfully my dad is now out of the hospital and after mopping up inches of water in the basement and changing a valve in the hot water tank we are taken care of. And the truck... well we are working on that today and although it is an inconvenience to only have one car for a few days it is not the end of the world. Yes, it was a rough morning that day I had to walk down I-75 but again it wasn't the end of the world. We got the truck towed and today hopefully we will have two vehicles up and running. So I guess where I am going with this is... I see people whining and crying on Facebook and in real life about trivial things while someones dad, brother, husband isn't coming home from Afghanistan. I guess I just sympathize more with military families because we've been there. I think daily about the soldiers not coming home and the ones who cannot be with their families during the holidays. So this morning while you are bitching on Facebook about how you had to get up for work or someone at Starbucks screwed up your coffee... this about someone less fortunate than you. I get it.. we all have bad days. But most likely someone has it worse than you.
Okay I am done with my rant. I just cannot take ungrateful people especially at this time of the year. Have a great Wednesday everyone.
