You are so lucky that I live in Georgia instead of Ala-freakin-bama because if I did I would smack the snot out of you.
I will have to do it virtually I suppose, although, I woke up in a wonderful mood today, determined not to eviscerate a single soul before noon.
Now look what you have gone and done to my day.
Lookie here, Mister,
It's time for a ball check.
What is with you?
Where is your gratitude?
I guess it is drowned in that little pity party you have thrown yourself before your first cup of coffee.
You need to get out of your own way and quit being so self absorbed and get your ass down to the veteran's hospital or the homeless shelter or the domestic violence shelter or the cancer ward or the animal shelter.
You think your life sucks?
You have no clue.
You are viewing your life through the lens of entitlement, engulfed in the smallness of your ego.
Go do something for someone who really has problems and then come home and get on your knees and thank God for your many blessings...that job with direct deposit and paid holidays and a secure retirement and health insurance for you and your family; that beautiful home that is not going to foreclosure on the courthouse steps any time soon; those beautiful, healthy, smart vivacious children; your mother WHO DID survive her recent illness to be with you another holiday; your gifts, your talents, your intelligence, your abilities; your country where you have the freedom to use all those things to do whatever the hell you want to do or piss it all away.
Gratitude comes when you look at what you have instead of what you don't have. Until you discover that, you will continue to live an unfufilled life.
You can choose to view this day as a gift from God, or you can squander away another birthday.
