I got an e-mail saying how lucky we are if we have spare change in a dish, than your part of the world's richest 10%, how if you have your health (ha, ha) your ahead of 6 million people. It was a gratitude e-mail. I tend to cringe when I get them. It's hard to be grateful when your stressed out. I tend to look at it like, hey I'm not in the hospital - I can get up when I want and go to sleep when I want and I can eat what I want when I want to. I have a job, I have a great dog - which reminds me - there is a really good book called "dogs don't bite when a growl will do". It's how we can learn a lesson or two from our pets. They are always ready to play, usually pretty happy, don't hold grudges, etc. The book & my dog usually help me to look on the brighter side of things. Hey, if he can eat the same thing day after day and still be happy, than I can find one or two things too. I hope you feel better and thanks for helping me to look on the bright side too.
