Great thread and a great reminder to be thankful/grateful for what we have. IMHO there is too much whining about what we do not have and not enough appreciation for what we do have and take for granted. There will always be stuff or situations we would like to have and don't; that's life
I spend a few moments virtually every morning before I get out of bed reflecting on my gratitude list and have come to realize how damm fortunate I am. It is humbling and provides some needed perspective that was sorely lacking in my life for many years.
Read a while back that it is better to want what we have than to have what we want. Spot on!!
