Working on being more grateful

Anyone else feeling the same?

I am so lucky and have a wonderful life. I love my husband, my son, my home, I’m healthy I have a stable job. I know how lucky and grateful I should be. Especially when there is so much pain and devastation happening that you see in the news and my heart goes out to people who are experiencing awful loss with everything the world and Mother Nature is throwing at us.

but I just feel like I’m floating through it all? I want to do more to help and be more of a valuable citizen. Just paying my mortgage and living a quiet life is all well and good. But why can’t we do more? My parents always tell me I can get a job in the charity sector but I’m not sure how much that really does? I recycle, am kind to people and try and be a good human. I know I’m so lucky and people would be so grateful of what I have. And I am. But it doesn’t feel fair or just feels empty. Any advice? Am I just having a mid life crisis!??

I'm very happy there are people like you in the world.

You're content and want to do some good deeds for others, that's cute.

There are some who're not happy with their lives so they... well, they're messing up the evolution.
