Swistle wrote an entry this weekend that I thought was totally worth sharing, about how when we are feeling bad about our living room furniture, or our appliances, or about having to take the time to go grocery shopping (ok, she didn’t list that, but I hate it so I’m listing it), we should think about other people in the world, or our great grandparents or whoever, who would really appreciate everything that we have, including the ability to run to the grocery store whenever we want to and buy foods that are already mostly prepared, if we want them. Not comparing in a “things could always be worse” way, but just in a reality-check type of way. And since I’ve been feeling complainy lately, I figured I would admit to it and pass this awesome entry on. So go on over to her site and read there. In fact, I would start with that entry and then keep reading through the archives. She’s pretty awesome.
