stop whining

I really need to suck it up.  I have no reason to whine whatsoever.  Honestly, I should be ashamed of myself.  I have a lovely wonderful family around me and we are all healthy.  We seriously want for nothing in the worldly sense.  My husband has a good job and makes plenty of money.  I have wonderful friends.  And I have a Savior who loves me.  I can see all of these blessings--so why am I so not content?

We recently moved from one state, to our home state for a few months, and then to a new state.  We have been moving around the world for a few years now, so this should be no big deal.  I think it was the taste of being back in my home state that did it for me.  I REALLY want to go back.

Looking at FB doesn't help, this morning I could see all of my friends and their kids enjoying a nice cold Christmas.  We live in a tropical area.  People put on their ugg boots when it gets to 65, and that has happened twice since we have been here (it is winter).  Last night I got fed up, said screw the budget for the utility bill and turned the AC down to 74...I slept like a dream!

How can I remember to keep the blessings in the forefront of my mind so that I won't be so depressed about living here?
