rob I wish we could trade places for a day. Then you can see why "I'm bitching" about being woke up only to get nothing resolved even if I show up at an appointment or take care of business or do what's asked nothing changes.
Mate, I spend my days watching people watch their children/spouses/parents/siblings die; telling parents that unfortunately despite best efforts their child died whilst they weren't there; parents beside themselves with worry and grief and uncertainty as their baby or child unexpectedly lies in an intensive care unit fighting for it's life.
These are very sobering to be around. We have all got it lucky right now.
Many of those I see in the worst situations still crack a joke, give a smile and do positive things, even if it is only to agree to organ donation. They humble me every day. I strive to be like them in times of adversity - to see the small positive amongst the huge negative, to grasp it and carry it and use it.
TAKE CONTROL! CHOOSE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE. NEGATIVE IS NOT NICE TO BE AROUND!
Reality is that which, if you don't believe in it, doesn't go away.
