I write this because I recently joined Family Sharing in iTunes.  As I sit here listening to any music that I can think of, I am thinking about just how lucky I am to be living when I am living.

Think about it.  I sit here listening to exactly the music I want to listen to.  I am typing on a computer.  Two things that could not have even been imagined by people who lived a mere 75 years ago.

What I have right now is more than most people of the past could even have imagined.  So much.  I am sitting in a condo and the temperature is perfect for me and if it wasn’t I could adjust the thermostat and it would be.  I can walk down the hallway and shower in a bathroom that has an indoor toilet that removes waste by moving a lever.  In the shower I can adjust the temperature of the water to what I deem to be perfect for me.

If I am hungry I can eat food that I have in my kitchen.  The kitchen, what miracles live here?  The refrigerator keeps food fresh for me and drinks cold and the freezer has ice in it even though is it a warm summer day.  I can take food out of the places I have it stored and cook it indoors.  No worries about the smoke, the vent takes care of it.

I can connect with anyone I know, most of them with both video and audio.  Almost anywhere in the world.  I can type messages for the people that I want to connect with or leave them a voice message.

If I want to visit anyone I can take the car that I own or I could connect with transportation that could literally take me anywhere in the world within 48 hours.

If I am in trouble I can call with a phone that I can go anywhere with and be able to get people to come and help me.  If I am sick people will take me to a place where the latest medical technology can help me get well.  I will probably live longer than 99% of the people in my genetic line.

I can do this because I am rich?  Not even close.  I live on the poverty line in the country in which I live.  I repeat my initial question, “How can I complain?”.

Think about it.
