You are right. Everyone has their problems and burdens and I don't think that mine are the biggest. Having alzheimer, being paralyzed or blind would certainly be much worse than when the challenges I face. Our favorite neighbour also has various health problems. If I remember right her muscles are disappearing due to some illness. Yet she keeps on living and (I hope) will still survive for many more years.

Also I believe that some time ago I saw a man without both his legs and arms(?) on tv...he was some kind of motivational speaker I think. In his place I would have no desire to live yet he still had the strength to motivate and inspire others. That is amazing.
