Extreme Home Makeover

One horrible weekend, I was in a really bad mood because of somethings that were going on in my life at the time. Sunday night I sat down and watched some TV and after flipping through the channels for five minutes, I settled on Extreme Home Makeover. On the show, they completely remodel and decorate for people who really need and deserve a new home. The family's story really got to me. The family had many horrible things going on, but remained optimistic. It really made me realize that I have it pretty good. I felt so selfish for having my own little pity party after watching the show. Things could have been a lot worse,and there I was whining about something that I would eventually forget about and move on from. Now when I get too wrapped up in my own life and complain about the things going on, I try to take a step back and examine how bad things really are; usually I discover things aren't so bad after all and look for positive things in my life.
