Something to think about....
This might sound cliche, but I try my best to not take things for granted. This has been my mantra for years, since my days working as a camp councilor. During my camp gig, I noticed the happiest campers were those who could hardly walk or talk while those that complained about the most insignificant things were very able-bodied and I don't want to say spoiled, but it's the only word that comes to mind.
I realized how lucky I was to have what I have and how important it is to not dwell on the little things. It's impossible not to be in a bad mood sometimes. Naturally, things get us down but it's always a great feeling knowing that I have a roof over my head, running water, a fridge full of food, a solid group of family and friends etc.... I honestly believe that I am way happier thinking this way.
Point of the story is, lighten up. Yes, we're dealing with some shitty stuff right now (i.e. recession), but there's still so so much to look forward to. It's friggin summer! Take your broke ass outside and appreciate the non-smoggy (yet) air.
p.s. sorry for being a cheeseball
Oh, and listen to these guys:
