Be it poverty, sickness, loneliness or whatever - if you find it in you to count your blessings instead of envying another's "luck", life can be good. <br /><br />But that doesn't necessarily mean you're "thinking positive". It can just as well mean that you know by experience that your healthy and wealthy neighbour is carrying his parcel just as you do, and probably finds a lot more to complain about :-D.<br /><br />Know thyself, exactly. And be the best "you" that you find it in you to be, or something...<br /><br />In any case - you are certainly an example to me in your acceptance of life's challenges. And I'd be proud of a niece who followed in your footsteps. Even if I would probably worry myself sick about her :-p.<br /><br />*hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
