My day starts with my miserable alarm going off, which i put on snooze at least three times before finally plucking up the courage to get up. My toes freeze and i try to get ready in about 2 seconds just to get into my warm clothes. At work, im still freezing, but then i feel bad for complaining because of all the homeless people outside.
I think to myself, at least i have a bed to get out of and boots to wear when my toes go blue. I have a warm cup of coffee and a cup of soup in the afternoon. I have so much, but it seems the more we have, the more we complain.
I watched a movie last night while laying under my very warm blankets that also reminded me of how much i have. The movie, "For colored girls" is a story of black american women who all go through hard times and come back better in the end.
These women live through the worst things any woman can possible go through in her life. Rape, murder, abortion and how to deal with men are some of the things that this movie deals with.
While laying in your warm bed next time, hating the thought of that alarm, have the people in mind who have so much worst to deal with. There's worst things than not having a heater. Try to keep those people who don't have anything in mind.
Fully agree. I also believe that we should use every day as a good day to be thankful for having a roof over one's head, food on the table, a vehicle, employment, good education ... and the list goes on. We have much to be thankful for. On the other hand, we should not forget the less fortunate and find ways to contribute towards their well-being.
ReplyDeleteThat movie in my description is a combination of all the bad things that can possibly happen in ones persons life. It makes me cry
