Today is a bright cool day, I woke up with a headache which is not uncommon for me. At the same time I realised that while I have lots of "problems" in my life, so does everybody else.
I had been reading an artical about the conflict in Shri Lanka before retiring and I am appaled at the terriable things going on there. My problems dimmed by comparison.
This morning I thought about my "problems" next to their problems, I realized that none of them could be solved in a moment ( gee, too bad no magic wand today!). I also realized that in broading my focus to include others, some how perspective came...I have today and this moment and I can fill it with something other than worrying about my-self and my situation...I got up and took a walk before anything else the morning was so beautiful...I have some "problems" and so much to be grateful for :)
