Complaining

So I was complaining in my head this morning as I unloaded the dishwasher.  We just moved into this house and the fridge we bought broke last week.  We had to replace it quickly with a lame fridge and i was thinking about how much I didn't like it.  And the dishwasher that came with the house functions, but its SO loud and there are occasionally bits of food still on the dishes.  And we still don't have hot water because we don't seem to be a priority to our contractor, no matter how much he says we are.  And on and on.  And stop.

But actually I do have a fridge that works, no matter that I don't like it.  I have a dishwasher, I have water.  I have so many things.  I really do need to stop whining and realize that I have a blessed life.  I have beautiful children, I have a beautiful house, I have a beautiful life.

I may not like everything I have, but who does?  Even people who have the perfect kitchen with those gleaming matched appliances complain.  Now if I had that I'm sure i wouldn't but....Yeah right.  I'd find something else to complain about.

By the way I also have this really great espresso maker.  Anyone who has a really great espresso maker is not allowed to complain about anything.  If you can make a latte in your own home that tasted better than Starbucks you have no grounds for complaints.  So there.  Remember that.
