    Just try using the one you've got. There's still a few miles left on it.

    I'm already happy.  I'm aggravated about something specific but I have much about which to be happy.  The aggravation is simply dealing with incompetence...........we've all been there.  I guess.

    I'm actually quite happy right now.  The only thing that would make me happier is if it was 5 PM and I was leaving work and looking forward to my four-day weekend.

    Right this moment? Being grateful for what I have already. 

    Yesterday, I was pondering what I'd talk to my mom about when I went out to visit her today, and all that I could come up with was gripes, because, lately, things aren't going so great for me. Then, I realized the irony of that. Could I really go sit and complain to a disabled woman who sits in a wheelchair, has no mobility on one side, and lives in a retirement home when she's not even 60 yet? I could gripe about money, but she has none. I could gripe about my job, but she can't even work. I could gripe about people, but she's mostly confined and is dependent on caregivers. At least I have a choice of who I associate with. I haven't made it out to her place yet, and I still don't know what I could possibly talk to her about, but I do know I'm not going to gripe. 

    There is always someone who has it worse. Today, I'm going to focus on what I do have going for me, even if it's things I might normally take for granted, like walking. And, I'm going to take some time off to spend with my family, so I can soak up the laughter of my kids. That will make me happy.

    Well, maybe letting her know that life 'outside' isn't perfect is all bad.

    A dose of perspective really goes a long way, doesn't it? This was a nice reminder for me too today. I have a lot going for me and I need to remind myself of it more often because you're right, someone always has it worse. I hope it was a good visit! I'm sorry that she's in that situation, but it's wonderful that you go to visit her. Best wishes to her and to you, because that's not easy to deal with!

    Nah.  Don't need no loving sex at the moment.  Maybe another time.  Erotic or passionate would be okay though if I can't get the angry.

    How dare you print such a mean-spirited disclaimer like that one!  Oh, sure, you pretend it was meant for anyone in general, no names named, but I know a personal attack when one is aimed straight at me!  Grrrrrrrr. 



    Take that!

    Quit complaining or next time I'll say no one whose name starts with an 'R' is allowed to answer at all.

    You're not a hater, you're a hatist. That's much worse.
