Rebecca, I think that this post is easy to relate to for all of us. I probably qualify as one of those “big teddy bears of appreciation” you mention, and even I find it hard to be grateful sometimes. There have been times during the past year where I've felt like my family was a shit magnet, to put it bluntly, and it was extremely difficult to be positive. But, those moments, the ones where the asshole cuts you off on the highway, often end up being the greatest learning experiences. So, you're right, we have to appreciate them too. Thanks for such a great post!

Rebecca, I like how you mention appreciating the bad parts of life too. If life were entirely all good, then there would be no comparison and no elated moments to compare the good from bad.

That's perfect, I like people who embrace reality.
