This is a excerpt from the book How to be Totally Miserable by John Bytheway. (LOVE HIM!)
Lots of people complain. Most people complain about their problems, but miserable people are different- they complain about their blessings. If their car breaks down, they complain that it isn't new. If their waitress is slow, they complain and withhold a tip. If their cell phone drops a call, they complain about their service. They're like the people in the Old Testament who got free food from heaven and said, "What? Manna again?" By contrast, happy people are grateful to have a car, thankful they can afford to eat at a restaurant, and stoked that they have a cell phone. Most people in the world don't have cars, can't afford restaurants, and have never sent a text message. Happy people count their blessings, while miserable complain about theirs.
So true, let us all try and count our blessings and not be miserable :)
