So, there's this great song by the Eagle's (Joe Walsh), "Life's Been Good." It's a classic, and I'm sure most of you have heard it. But there's this one part of the song that I've never really paid much attention to before... but today, it resonated with me."I can't complain, but sometimes I still do."
How true, how true. Lately, I've been thinking about how great I really have it. I have an amazing husband. I have an awesome job. I have a fabulous little house. I have a closet full of clothes. Let's keep going, shall we? I have my health. I have food to eat. I have a bed to sleep in. I have shelter over my head. I mean seriously... I can't complain.
But sometimes I still do.
I do. I complain about how little our house is. I complain about being hungry. I complain about not having anything to wear. I complain about having to work all day. The list could go on and on, but I will stop, for fear that some of you will start to think that I truly am a horribly ungrateful person.
I've been realizing how good I have it lately. Now... I just need to remember how good I have it. Because, you know, I really can't complain:)

Amen sister, Amen. Sometimes that is so hard to remember and realize that realistically we really can't complain. Nice friendly reminder :)
