my h and son gave me necklace

[MrBond]

Let me tell you something. True story.

I was in Thailand a few years ago on a trip. While there, I saw a man with no arms and no legs. He had a cart that he was pulling along the sidewalk with his teeth. In the cart he had baskets that he was selling. He would move by rocking his body back and forth to move forward. This was out in 100 degree weather. Yet the whole time he was smiling.

I asked our guide to ask the man why he was smiling. The man said this..."I'm alive. God has granted me a sunny day to sell my baskets and I have a place to sleep and food to eat. Who could ask for anything more?"

There's a man who has NOTHING, yet he counts the blessings he has.

You're worried about your financial future? Then do something about it. So what if you can't work? You can type can't you? You do so on these boards. Find a way to use the tools that you DO have. NOT the ones that you don't.

You play tennis, have a wonderful son, are living, breathing. Do you think the child in the cancer ward would think that you can't enjoy life? Or the abused mother who has to take care of her 3 kids against an alcoholic H?

Count your blessings and grow from that. Stop this "oh woe is me" attitude.

I tell you what. If you can go into a hospital ward and tell a child with a terminal illness that you have it worse off than them, then I will believe you.
