Thank you all, gald ya'll liked it, it hot home with me last night when i read it, I have been dwelling on the little things and not thinking of who might have it worse, but now I actualy think about those who might need help..ie a friend of mine who is trying to raise her kids and step daughter on a small ssi check for her son while her husband is in jail since monday, and about the people who have nothing, while i complain about having something

Question Mark

Some people look at a glass and see it as being half empty. Then there are the people who look at it and see it as being half-full. Which one are you?

i much prefer:

"Some people look at a glass and see it as being half empty. Then there are the people who look at it and see it as being half-full. The engineer looks at the glass as being twice as big as it needs to be."

depending on what is int he glass i will drink it and grab a refill.

i know i make small compaints almost constantly, and i know others have it worse, i try to help and be considerate, but occaisionally i feel as tho i am on the bottom of the pile.

i feel that god gave us free will for a reason, to decide when we need to rely soley upon him because it is truly out of our hands, or to take action because we have the ability to solve the problem. i'm sorry but the thinking of "this is a problem for go to handle" creates ppl who think all they have to do is wait, not work. a friend was compaining about her lack of money, and how much she owes the land loard cause her ex, who signed for her ssi checks didn't pay the rent. now he is gone, and she only get $500+ a month. she sat and complained. she did not ask for help, all she did was lament that her landlord doesn't care. i offered tot ake her to the assistance office to see what kinds of welfare help she can get. she did not say thankyou. she kept on lamenting "i think that comes out of my ssi, what's the point?" so ask! sorry to compain, i just...grrrrr.... ppl need to work to better their lives.

trust in god for big things, trust in yourself for your quality of life!

Christianity, Catholicism, Aetheism or Paganism it matters not - inspiration is not restricted by religion or beliefs.
