You Ungrateful little......

Some people are born into wealth. Some people into a shithole. Some people have lives of ease and pleasure. Some have hard labor with cold wet feet.  Some guys have all the luck.  Yet some still complain they don't have enough, and others are grateful for having indoor plumbing. who is happier?

A growing body of research suggests that maintaining an attitude of gratitude can improve psychological, emotional and physical well-being. Adults who frequently feel grateful have more energy, more optimism, more social connections and more happiness than those who do not, according to studies conducted over the past decade. They're also less likely to be depressed, envious, greedy or alcoholics. They earn more money, sleep more soundly, exercise more regularly and have greater resistance to viral infections.

Happiness is a choice made everyday. changing your thought patterns can change your moods. recognizing all that you have makes all that you don't less meaningful.

People who are grateful tend to be less materialistic, set higher goals, complain of fewer headaches and stomach aches and feel more satisfied with their friends, families than those who don't, studies show.

Being grateful also forces people to overcome what psychologists call the "negativity bias"—the innate tendency to dwell on problems, annoyances and injustices rather than upbeat events.

So buck up. man up. quit your bitchin and if it starts gettin tough start playing harder.  at least you don't  have cholera or syphilis.
