i guess the old rule applies, when you are feeling sorry for yourself, take a look around. it doesnt take long to find someone who has it a lot worse!

hope you all have the best day possible.

Very true. Ever since one of my best friends died of cancer in his mid-twenties, I've had a different perspective on life. We were all invicible until that happened.

He left me an invaluable gift - the ability to retain perspective and appreciate how much I have, especially my health. Whenever I am feeling sorry for myself or down about something that is actually inconsequential, I think of him and it picks me up and reminds me how lucky I truly am.
