better frame of mind

Today I woke up and felt like life was brighter. The need to smile more and not dread the fact that I have to go to work but in this day and age I have a job to go to is worth being thankful for and definitely not dread.  I think we all go through times where we get stuck on our negative mode  instead of being grateful for what we have.  It can go to extremes and I have learned that in our need for more sometimes we do not stop to smell the roses per-say.  I started thinking about the wealthy and how they can go anywhere they wish and but anything there heart desires yet do they really have people in their lives who love them for who they are or is it for what they have?  I doubt they will ever know for sure.  The level of want is purely based on your circumstance.  The people who say they want for nothing actually do.  They want for that next multi-million dollar contract, or the certainty that the people in their lives are true.  The middle class hope and want for the all of the bills to be met and to have a little left over to take a small family vacation this year.  The working class hope to be able to pay the power bill so when it snows they are not cold over the weekend.  The homeless hope just to eat today and that their blanket doesn't get wet in the rain.  Wants are purely relative to a certain situation ans as I went to bed last night frustrated on my personal situations I realized that I wasn't wondering if the people in my life loved me for me, whether I would be able to pay my power bill,  would I be able to eat or if my blanket would get wet in the rain,  all in all life is good to me, even if I got yelled at by a customer at work;  after all who knows what his wants are.
