If you haven't noticed, I have been rather negative lately.
I complain A LOT.
I just have a hard time keeping my emotions in.
It's not just my negativity, I love to share all my other emotions too.
I do have other emotions besides annoyance, but that's the one people seem to notice because it's really annoying.
I know I get bugged by people that are always complaining (there I go complaining about people that complain, shoot!) and since I'm also a complainer I don't tolerate them doing.
Well I'm trying really hard not to do this.
Life happens to everyone but not everyone handles it well.
I feel like I have had so many messages coming from all over try to tell me this.
I know I'm not the only one in the world who has gone from a house to an apartment.
I'm not the only one to live in this tiny space with no built in storage and no dishwasher.
I'm not the only person to raise a child while her husband gets his MBA.
I could keep going but I'm starting to dig up all the things that I'm trying not think about.
I am SO grateful for a wonderful husband who is working so hard to try and provide a better life for Scott and I.
I'm SO grateful for a sweet son who is so good at making me smile.
I'm SO grateful for a wonderful supportive family that is so good at relieving pressure from me.
I'm SO grateful for friends that always have a listening, nonjudgmental ear.
I'm SSSOOOOO grateful for my religion that always inspires me to be better.
My religion doesn't bog me down, it doesn't make me feel like I'm chasing a carrot that I will never get to.
I've thinking a lot about this a lot lately.
Some of you may be aware of a "disease called Perfection".
If you know what I'm referring to I'll tell you I didn't get the reaction that so many got from this.
If you don't know then give me a call and I'll brief you on it, food for thought.
I know I'm not perfect, but I will never stop trying to get there.
I believe that through the teachings of my religion I will get there.
I believe that it is sin that makes us feel bad about ourselves or bogs us down to feel like life is too hard.
I have to problem of complaining and comparing myself to others and complaining and getting easily offended and complaining...
I know these are problems.
I'm not going to accept them and say, "This is who I am, and if you have a problem with this then that's just it, it's YOUR problem.
You're going to have to change because I'm not going to fix my problems."
I am going to change.
I'm going to be better.
As my good friend Gordon B. Hickley used to say, "Be a little better, try a little harder, everyday."
I think the thing I am most grateful for in life is forgiveness.
My husband and son forgiving my short fuse and my Heavenly Father and Christ forgiving my stupidities.
I am blessed so much.
All around me I am blessed and I vow to become less blind to them everyday.
I will open my eyes and strive to extract more joy out of life.
If you need to feel more gratitude but struggle then watch this video.
You wont regret it.

We need to live closer together!!! I've gone through and am going through a lot of what you're going through. I guess we'll just have to be blog-buddies!
Just know you're not alone, and I complain much more than you do!!! Thanks for the words of encouragement.
xoxo
