Life lessons at the market

Last week we received our final water, property taxes. We also have to find $ to replace our roof Depressed, I went to the local grocer, and meet up with an acquaintance, who tells me her husband makes a mill per year as a lawyer and everything is done for her. She's trying to find meaning in her life and is bored/lonely. As I wander the isles, I see this older couple; the man's leg is in a cast, his spouse has a bowed leg and she's struggling to help him with the basket which holds a dozen eggs a loaf of bread and hotdogs. It's all about perspective.

it's natural to look at others to try and get an idea of how you're doing. it never works, but it's natural.

be happy

don't worry.
