Let me tell you, all of our complaints, are your own fault. Yes, we have a president, we have ALWAYS had a president. Good things happen, bad things happen, and you can't make everyone happy about anything ever.
I got up this morning, turned the light on, and the light worked. Woke my children up for SCHOOL, handed them each CLEAN, FRESH CLOTHES, walked into the kitchen, popped a k cup in the Keurig and brewed a cup of coffee. I swung around, opened the refrigerator, pulled out the milk, grabbed a box of cereal, poured 2 bowls of cap'n crunch, called my children (who were in their room arguing) to come eat and hurry up because the BUS would be here soon.
Breathe for 30 seconds.
They enter the kitchen, each eating HALF of the food in front of them, grab coats and book bags and run out the door to the awaiting school bus. I dump the uneaten cereal into the trash, toss the bowls in the sink, remember my coffee which is now cold, dump it out, brew a new cup, and sit down at the table. I open my laptop, which sat here all night, power it on, connect to the wifi, and check my facebook to see what my friends and family are sharing.
I grab my cell phone and pop open my weather app.
I'm not cold, the heat is on. Few sips of coffee. My 4 year old enters the room. Handing my my I PHONE 5S, requesting I insert the password, he pops on YouTube, goes to the couch and cuddles up to watch videos about transformer toys.
I turn back to the laptop, read a few articles, get bored, back to Facebook. The dog trots out, and knocks on the door. I let her out to make her pee's and poo's, fill her food and water dishes, let her back in. She takes a few bites of what they call dog food, a few licks of water, and runs to the living room to jump on the couch next to the boy, who continues to watch YouTube
THANKS OBAMA!
You see, we live in a country, that no isn't perfect, but has far more luxuries than other countries. Yes, there are homeless, yes there are hungry, yes it's not fair, but it's a small percentage compared to other places. The average person has more than I do. I'm a single mom with 3 children to care for at all times. They have a home, heat, electricity, food, clean water, clean clothes, INTERNET, there are computers, tablets, phones, games, and a television with cable. We have a toilet, we've never had to dig a hole to do our potties in.
Everyone is SO FOCUSED on what they don't have, and what they don't like, that they forget to be grateful for the tons of things they do have, and do like. No one appreciates anything.
So next time you want to blame all the worlds problems on one man, think about all the things you could thank him for. After all, if he is guilty of all the problems, he is likewise guilty of all the enjoyable pleasures too.
THANKS OBAMA! Have a great day!
