We all complain about little things every day, but we should remember how privileged we are just to be able to complain about them.
Also this is late again...I'm pretty sure I should just post on Thursdays. :)
Here are 12 of my First World Problems.
- When I accidentally put on two different shoes, or two different color socks...I'm privileged to own more than one pair.
- When I can't find my keys, or my cell phone, or I've lost something else in my house...I'm privileged to have a home large enough to lose things in.
- When I have 3 loads of laundry to do...I'm privileged to have clean clothes to wear every day, and a cozy bed with clean sheets.
- When I get annoyed at the people that get in my way during a busy evening at Whole Foods...I'm privileged to have access to, and to be able to afford, healthy food.
- When my flight is delayed...I'm privileged just to be able to get on an airplane and travel for leisure.
- When my mom calls when I'm busy at work, just to ask me to google something for her...I'm privileged to have a mom to call me up at all.
- When the wifi is down, or my computer shuts down during an inopportune time to install Windows updates...I'm privileged to have access to a computer.
- When I burn my tongue on hot coffee or soup or a slice of pizza...I'm privileged to know the taste of hot food.
- When I have to wash the dishes...I'm privileged to have access to clean and hot water.
- When my car battery dies in the depths of winter...I'm privileged to have a car at all.
- When the cats get into my knitting bag and roll balls of yarn all over the floor...I'm privileged just to be able to buy yarn for a hobby, and to have two pet kitties.
- When Jake puts the seat and the lid down on the toilet, and I sit my bare ass on the ice-cold porcelain without realizing it...I'm privileged to have a husband that puts the seat down at all. :P
Aw this was sweet, perspective is always good. That cat with the yarn everywhere made me lol.

ReplyDeletePersonal favs 6,11 & 12...
ReplyDeleteThere should be "love" and "like" buttons for blog posts. Well, then I would have to love them all. Again, first world problems. I am so lucky to have friends who care and realize the bigger picture!
