Some words of wisdom from my Grandma. She used to say that the problems you think you have are flowers compared to what other people are going through. It probably sounds a lot better in Italian.
Those are wise words. I may not be "myself" right now, but my home is paid for, my cats and I have ample food and water, and we share a lot of love with friends, both IRL and online.
My mother used to say 'If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.' Took me years to 'get it'!
