Choices

If anyone can tell me who in country music sings a song by this title...you when the OLD country (as in before Garth Brooks) trivia game!

So I've been thinking a lot lately about choices and it's occurred to me that I have a lot of them to make. It's my choice whether my day is crappy or not or if my attitude sucks (and may I mention that it has been recently...or so I think.) I may not be able to choose the circumstances that I am under, or what events will happen in my day, but it doesn't mean that I still don't have to choice to make the best out of it.

I've been thinking about how blessed I am and how spoiled I really can be. I'm always complaining that i'm tired but then I think of my mother that has been getting up at 2:15 to go to work by 4 so that she can get home at 5 in the afternoon, spend the next 2 hours at the nursing home with my dad, talk to me and a few of my aunts on the phone for a few minutes and then go right back to bed to do it all over again. I have nothing to complain about.

I complain that I don't have any money, but then I think about the people that have jobs that pay less than mine (if I was getting paid), don't have chances to earn extra money (like I do) and still have spouses and kids to feed and raise and bills to pay.

I complain that there's not enough time, when if I really counted up how many hours in the day I spend doing POINTLESS things it would be unbelievable.

That's my realization for the week I guess. That I'm spoiled and have a bad attitude...what a grand realization to have too!

So that's my random thoughts for today.
