To be greatful

There are a lot of times lately where I have had to tell myself, "be greatful!". I have had to remind myself that this life is a thing of wonder. Sure, I could complain about all of the little things that are irritating, depressing, and just down right hard to handle. But, at the end of the day I have had and continue to have the love of a hero. There are few people in the world that get to say that.
I think that recently I have been a bit ungreatful. Even, dare I say it, selfish.
My husband has been tracking dirt on the floor which is irritating. I have to remind myself that I should be greatful to have him there to track his dirt on our floor. What more do I need? Sure, he forgets to replace the toliet paper roll and damn if he never loads the dishwasher. But, what would my life be if his dirty coffee cup never graced my counter top again? I can tell you that the thought of it grips my heart with fear.
I guess that is the reality of the life of a military spouse. We are normal and we get bitchy but we are constantly confronted with the fact that we are living a life that people write movies about. We live and breath among heros and if that doesnt snap you out of a funk... what will?
