I know that I have been bitching about things being so crappy this week, but I just had a major reality check. As I was driving back to work from lunch I drove past this old homeless women, hunched over and pulling her life belongings in a suitcase. Here I drive by in my nice sports car with 'problems' and here this woman is living on the street. I feel guilty. I should be grateful for what I DO have and not bitch about no sleep, annoying co-workers and the like. Okay guys....thanks for listening.

i always try to remember... no matter how bad it gets, it could always be worse (even when I was in JAIL)... and that there are people out there whose day to day reality is much worse than we could even imagine. But at the same time, it's really easy to get caught up in the day to day shit that exists in our lives and give it more importance than it is due.
I try not to let the little stuff get to me anymore... that way I have more mental energy when the big stuff rolls around (as it *always* does.)

A lot of the time I think 'Will someone die from this?' i.e. 'If I call off of work will someone die? Will the earth shatter and become a cloud of dust?' The answer is usually NO! So, yeah if I don't sweat the small stuff then I wouldn't stress b/c mostly everything is small and NOT life threatening.

EVERYONE is entitled to a bitch session now and then, it's cathartic...plus it usually leads you to those wonderful reality checkpoints....
my momma always told me: (yes she did say this)
"..you think you got it bad? didja wake up alive today?
can you feed & dress yerself? can you wipe your own butt?
you got a roof over yer head? food in yer belly? ...well,
then, quitcher complaining..!"
(she freaked me out a lot but she meant well.../images/smile.gif)
there's a sun around the bend...there always is...
