How Selfish of me....

I usually am not so negative, but yesterday, I woke with a horrible headache.  It was storming out and I had errands to run and I overslept.  I posted on my facebook status, something to the effect of "Overslept, woke with a headache and have to run errands in the rain.  This Monday sucks more than most.  Silver lining?  Anyone?".   I was promptly put in my place by several friends who reminded me that I was lucky to wake up to the day.  Crappy or not.
How could I be upset about such trivial things?  There are people all over that aren't lucky enough to wake to a new day, or people who wake up everyday in pain because of illness or disease.  There are people who wish to not wake up and here I am complaining about rain.
I am very lucky to have woken up to a new day.  I have a wonderful life and a wonderful family and am blessed daily.  Thank you to my friends who put my day into perspective and helped me to remember that I am truly blessed and should not take anything in my life for granted.  Crappy or not.  At least I have life to live.
