Complaints in Life

 

Saw this from Facebook today. I cannot help but fully agreed after the July episode of my peer / ex-colleague.

We used to complain about work and little things in life, about kids, spouse and etc. After she had cancer we talk even more.

Now that she is gone, it only make me realise, being able to complain is a blessing. She would want to complain and still be in it, be it work, or espically being with kids and spouse.

Now I really see work and feel life differently whenever I think about her. I would remind myself what could be worse than not having a choice to stay alive, free from physical pain and suffering, having the energy to make your own decision and choice?

No matter what it is today that I encounter, I have a choice on how to handle it be optimistic and deal with it the way I want to. Yes, we do complain and talk about it with peers and spouse but it is all these that make us have topics for catch up over a cup of tea, some short messages exchange or social media update.
