My “What I’m thankful for” category is pretty empty, so I thought it was time to beef it up. After once again listening to my ex talk about how badly his life is going, I realized that mine isn’t so bad. My children aren’t that irritating, I’m employed, I don’t live really close to any annoying neighbors, I have a car…. maybe I should save all of these things for future “What I’m thankful for” installments.
Anyway, I’ve decided to focus on the fact that no matter how bad I think things are, they are always worse for someone else. So now I’ll take comfort in other’s misery. Ok, that didn’t sound right. I won’t take comfort in the misery of others, I’ll take comfort in knowing that my life is better than a lot of other people. Ok, I feel better.
