A Little Perspective

01.06.09 | 1 Comment

Yes, I’ve had a cold on and off since the beginning of December.
Yes, I wish my life were a little different at times.
Yes, I like to complain about certain things.
Yes, I was hoping for a healthier start of 2009.

And then somehow the boob tube helps me get a little perspective. There are stories I know very well, yet they capture my attention every time I come across them again and again. Such is the case of Anne Frank and her diary. The movie was playing on Starz, and there I was paying attention as if it was the first time. I think I read the book twice when I was a little girl, and I’ve seen the movie several times.

The movie was over, and I was on Wikipedia reading about Anne Frank with that pit feeling in my stomach. And there is a link to the Auschwitz concentration camp info page; it makes me want to cry… just the name of that place. Such a horrible part of the history of human kind.

And then I realize I have no reason to complain, even though my husband says I can. But a cold and the lack of job seem so trivial compared to what some human beings have had to endure.

    I think it’s ok to complain a little when you’re feeling miserable.
    The key, which you’re already accomplishing, is to not be so self absorbed as to think your suffering is ultimate.
