I just finished reading The Glass Castle, and it was seriously one of the best books I've read. It's a memoir about a girls upbringing with really out-there parents. It's amazing to me some of the things people have to go through in life and then I think about what a crap I am to ever complain about a thing. I have so much to be grateful for, but definitely have days where I'm just in the dumps, so I'm going to make a change. I recently went to a seminar that talked about how complaining affects you and the way you percieve things, so I'm going to make a serious effort not to allow myself to do it. I have such a great family with the funniest, cutest little girls and a fox of a hubby, the church, a home I love, and a job I totally enjoy so thats it no more complaining! BTW, its sort of a sad book, but sooooo good. You should read it.

i don't think i have ever cried as much as i did reading a book than this one. isn't it amazing what people can actually live through? if you don't mind sad, this is an awesome book. and you are right, it definitely makes you really think about the things you complain about and realize that you have it pretty darn good!
yes, lets get together this week.
thanks for the recommendation. Sounds like an inspiring book. Isn't it great when a book helps you to see something in yourself?
