Being thankful instead of complaining

Maybe I do complain too much.  It is quite safe where I am from.  I live in a safe, quiet neighborhood where not a whole lot happens.  I wonder if all of my neighbors know me, much less like me.  I feel like I was musing about what I was missing more so than what I have and what I should be thankful for.  Sometimes it happens to all of us I guess.  I felt like giving up at times.  I do complain a lot and I am tempted to complain right now, but I won't.
