A is for Anger

 Anger as a definition “is an emotion related to one’s psychological interpretation of having been offended, wronged or denied.” (http://us.wow.com/wiki/Anger?s_chn=95&s_pt=aolsem&v_t=aolsem)

I have not been denied nor wronged but I have been offended in my own way. I am so tired of hearing people say how much they are wronged and denied so many things in life when they should be grateful for the lives that they have and to be extremely happy that they are alive and somewhat healthy.

I have seen people who are very ill or near death and yet they make it through with flying colors even though they have been through some very rough spots but all in all they made it through and didn't blame others for their unfortunate circumstances.  To me that is the right way to handle things but for others it is easier to blame others and not take responsibility for themselves and try to correct the situation.

Every day I go to work and come home after eight hours with my ankle hurting and sometimes barely able to walk up the steps but I do it when I have to because I have to make a living and can’t be dependent on someone else. Yes, I live with my parents but that is due to financial restrictions at this point and not because of unwillingness to work and try to find work. I have tried for disability twice already and have been denied both times so I go on and try to find another job even if it means hurting myself more.  

So when I hear others say oh I can’t work because I hurt or I don’t have a way to work or it’s so demeaning to work in a fast food place or for minimum wage, I say get off your butts and do it. You cannot be too picky in your job choices in this day and age and I for one am doing what I can to make ends meet until God decides to show me the way I am to go.
