Would you like some cheese with that whine?

I have come to realize that I have become somewhat of a complainer. Sorry about that. I just realized it, so if it takes me a while to revert back to NOT complaining so much, please forgive me. I don't try to complain, really I don't. There are people here, and all over the place, who have it way worse than I do, and they don't whine, so what gives me the right? So instead, I am going to focus on the blessings I have.
1. Health. Okay, so it's not the greatest, but I am able to be alert and active (for the most part) and do things with my family. I am not stuck in a wheelchair, and I can get up and move at will. Since I WAS in a wheelchair some while I had chemotherapy, I can make this comparison well, and let me tell you it stinks. So being able to walk and move is great. I can carry Jacob and I can play with the other kids. I can stand and make meals for my family. I can do most everything a normal person does.
2. Family. They are so wonderful. Every single person in my family loves me and I love them, and that is the biggest blessing I have. To try and describe the blessings of having my family is impossible, so I'll leave it at this. Mine is better than yours. Gotta be. :)
3. Nature. Have you looked outside lately? Yes, it was 80 degrees last week in December. And although that's not the optimal temperature, it's still beautiful. Today the sun is shining and it's cold, and I only have a block to walk to get to Hollings from Hope Lodge, so I'll enjoy it.
That's only three things. But it's three good things, and three things I'm not complaining about. So it's a start.
