"Count your Blessings."

Today I realized how truly blessed I am.  I had super duper crappy day work.  For realz,  I mean, I would have totally (insert angry reaction here) if I didn't have such great self control. But any ways. I got very lucky because in my life I have amazing people that will listen to my crying and complaining and not saying a single nice thing and they will love me and still talk to me. (How many people have that?) I mean I called my Mom (4x..) because nothing makes a bad day better like talking to your mommy right? Well, of course my mom was busy, which put me in an even more bitter mood.  So I called my Dad. Who was working, at his crappier than crappy job to take a break and listen to me complain about my usually cake job...and about how Mom wasn't answering her phone and I just wanted to talk to her.  I mean...first off, my Dad's job is so crappy.  The people he works with are mean, cruel, lazy, and at times a bit racist.  And it makes me mad to no end because my Daddy is an amazing person and he just takes it.  He doesn't really have a choice if he wants to keep his job, but then to have me calling complaining about my "bad" day at work and basically crying because my bosses are so crappy? Let me tell you one thing, they are NO WHERE near as bad as my poor father's.  But, he stilled listened to me, told me he was sorry I couldn't get a hold of my mother and that I could talk to him.  He listened to complain and cry and told me that everything was okay and that my bosses were turds.  Secondly, one of the first things I said to him was that I wanted to talk to Mom.  I mean, it breaks my heart thinking how selfish I must have sounded.  My Dad answered his phone saying "hello sweetheart" I responded with "Hi Dad, do you know if Mom is busy?"  I can only hope that my Daddy knows that I didn't mean for that to sound as bad as it does.  Like "Hey Dad I know you answered your phone but I actually wanna talk to Mom.  Do you know why she isn't answering her phone?" How horrible am I.  But he still talked to me, made me feel better and then he said he would try to call my mom for me.  Only then I realized that during my conversation with my Dad my Mom called and messaged me asking if everything was okay.  I have two, incredible parents. Two amazing people that care about my day even if it wasn't as bad as so many other peoples.  After again complaining to my Mom about work she said "First World problems right sweetie? You have job but that makes you have crappy boss.  You work inside without hardly any manual labor and access to a computer? It could be worse. Plus, tomorrow is another day!"  My Mom and Dad reminded me that not only do I have so many things I can be thankful for in my life, but that I have so many people in life that I can tell anything to.  They also reminded me (without really knowing I think) that I should stop thinking so selfishly about things, like because Mom didn't answer her phone don't be mad that she didn't answer, maybe you should be worried instead...ya know, instead of being a brat.  And when you want to talk to someone about your job, maybe you should think of someone important in your life that has it way worse than you and instead be thankful for how hard they work for YOU instead of complaining about the job you have for spending money...Sometimes I surprise myself with my selfishness, then my parents make my day so much better and say so many selfless things it breaks my heart to know that there are so many things I complain about but there are so many many more things I should be grateful for.
I know this one isn't funny or anything but I think that people should think about somethings.  Sometimes you come to lessons in life that, just like a grocery list, you might forget if you don't write it down or tell someone to remind you.  I just hope that other people can be as blessed in their lives as I am in mine.
