I like to remind myself of how fortunate I am compared to other people. Do you have caring friends? A loving family? A place to live? Good food to eat? An education? Time to play?

A lot of people in other parts of the world do not have these things. We are very fortunate and should value the things that we do have and try not to concentrate on the things we don't have or on the problems we have.

I know this is much easier said than done.
