Often I take for granted how lucky I am. I have grown to expect things in life. I expect that I will have enough money to fill up my tummy and my car. Even if I didn't I have people in my life to fall back on for food and I live in a place with public transportation.
Today I experienced a stroke of bad luck. Flat tire in the middle of a hot day. I was peeved at first and then thought: I have no where else to be today. I have AAA. Why am I upset? Because I would rather be doing something other than catching up on a good book, smoking a cigarette, and outside on a sunny day? No. It's because I'm wired to whine.
I have gone through and am still going through some rough things this year, but I have decided I am not going to let me get to myself. I may not be able to fix anything, but I don't have to be sad all the time. Maybe your whole world can change even if nothing changes. Maybe it's all in your attitude.
