Life's hard for some

Do you ever feel a bit down because you're snowed under, have too many problems, or just feel life's all just a bit too hard? Need a kick-start? A hand up?

Then watch a show on TV called Amazing Medical Stories (there's probably a few of those type of shows around). You'll soon realise how lucky you are. Unless of course you're one of those who should be the subject of the show.

When you become aware of the plight of others you get the focus off yourself. Then hopefully you'll exercise your compassion muscle rather than your poor-me muscle. I saw just 5 minutes of a show last night about a little baby who contracted meningacoccal at just 5 months of age. The result... amputated arms and legs at the elbows and knees.

Life really is hard for some... for others, we just think it's hard.
