One of the things that always bothers me is when people talk about how terrible our collective lives are right now, in this moment in history. I know I fall victim to complaining every now and again, but as a lover of history I try to keep things in perspective. There is no greater lens to focus that perspective, in my opinion, than June 6, 1944. Just watch the first 20 or so minutes of Saving Private Ryan and think about what it was like living in that time, in that world. Now shut-up that your mocha-caramel-latte is not properly "mochafied" for your tastes and go about your day.
We are blessed to live in a time of relative peace and prosperity, especially in this country. Enjoy it!
