1. I have empathy and I don't...

Sep 2012

I mean, I understand the frustration of a new bathroom being built (I did this earlier this year), I understand cars having their own agenda, but I always have to center myself and say to me " You know what, you could be in Afganistan with bombs going off, or born to a lower caste in India and begging, or starving and getting female circumcision in Africa". Not to belittle your problems, but that's how I put my problems into perspective and snap myself back to reality...Hoping the best for you and your new bathroom (it is worth it!).
