First World Problem

A first world problem is something that Americans complain about that the rest of the world finds silly.  Some of what we consider problems would actually be desired by the rest of the world.

For example...
-my car is broken down?  Most people in the world wish that they owned a car.
-my boss is annoying.  Many people wish that they had a job.
- I spent an hour straightening my hair and now it's raining.  Many people wish that they had electricity or even hair!

So here is my first world problem. 
I have a sore on my big toe. 
I know that I should call a tow truck, but let me go on.

I noticed in the night that there was a pain in my big toe.  I thought I had a splinter, but when I looked, there was a flap of skin.
Hmmm- Sherlock Holmes at work.... seems that my constant wearing of flip flops in Florida has rubbed a blister on my big toe.  The blister popped and now there is a sore and a flap of skin.

First world problem.  I know a lot of people who would love to be wearing flip flops all the time.

I put a band aid on it.
I will survive.

It's a beautiful day in God's world be sure to see the good.
