Wow morgan, that is so true. My friend at work has breast cancer and she is very ill. I saw her today, brave, bald head, baseball cap....it caused me to raise my head a bit and realize the same thing you did. Life could be so much worse. My neighbors buried their 2 yr old last year (God God NO!), so yes, things can be so much worse.
Funks are easy to get in though, but hey, its a roller coaster and we are coming to terms with things. Its hard.
PS: Lighting a fire is easy. Buy one of those cool helper logs, place real logs above it, light the helper log and you're good. BUT OPEN THE FLUME FIRST
