This past week I had a really good week. I think it is important to verbalize this as all too often I feel like I complain about stuff in my life instead of looking at all the good things I've been given.
This was a week of balance. Time for reading and for watching Lost with my roommate. Good food cooked at home but with a few meals in restaurants. Time of fellowship at the pool hall and time alone. Warm sunny afternoons and cold crisp nights. Time to exercise and time to sleep in. Busy afternoons and quite nights. Thoughts of the future and preparation for tomorrows.
I'm sure I complained this week both out loud and to myself but I wish that I hadn't. I think we have good weeks and even great weeks all the time we are just too self absorbed to see them. We imagine that for things to be good they should work out exactly as we wished. What a boring world that would be! Like they say: "Life is what happens to you while you're making plans".
Take a minute to think back on your week maybe it was better than you thought.

Thanks for sharing Ben. It can be so hard not to complain sometimes, but it's so silly. What are we comparing our lives to that makes us complain about all the great things we have and that happen every day?
