I was working through some train issues with a manager I know(very nice guy) last night. He brought out some cookies and offered them to me saying his daughter made them. He then said that when his daughter is feeling good enough. She likes to bake for other people (she is 12). He said that she has Cystic Fibrosis and that she hadn't been getting around much lately. At that point he had to excuse himself from the room.

It just always makes me think.

No matter how bad we think we have it. There are other people who have it worse.

I dont know if it is just me but I seem to encounter this more and more. People who are at least as deserving as myself of a good life. With the control taken away. People who cant be reassured with "it will be OK" because it wont.

My point is:

Appreciate what you have.
