Bad, But Actually Good
I have realized recently, so many of the things we complain about, when you distill them down, are actually the good things in our life.
It stinks to wake up early and go to work, but it's pretty cool somebody values your skills enough to pay for them.
I complain that I didn't get enough sleep at night because of children, but actually I have two healthy children to be thankful for.
It stinks to go to school for 12+ years, but it's pretty amazing we have the minds to learn and also there are many many people who do not have the opportunity to get an education. So having the opportunity for education is a huge blessing.
Bills are no fun to pay, but it's pretty nice having garbage picked up, medical paid for, paved roads, cell phones, houses...
This could go on and on. I encourage you to examine the things you complain about. I would almost guarantee that once you think through the complaint, there is actually something to be thankful for at the base of the complaint.

So very true!! Our perspective always either see's it half empty or half full.....
