Lishone, most of my dreams of what I wanted to do in my life have in fact come true. I enjoy my life, but most of my desires are relatively inexpensive, and I have no debt, not even a credit card, so no I am not struggling to pay my bills. I am graterful to all of the other people that allow me to live life my way, and If I can thank them I do. I'm pretty cheerful because like I said, I enjoy my life. I strongly disagree with your bitter take on gratitude, that's all. You're not doing anyone any favors with that attitude.
