AKA: count your blessings.

And that’s why you never ever say “Things couldn’t get any worse.”

Gee,I’m sorry to hear that but don’t give up hope. Maybe you’ll break a leg or something.

I don’t have that problem. Mine are usually worse, lol.

And yet, people like her still complain.

Always be thankful for what you have and not what you don’t have.

Poor baby!

My friend from NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness) likes to point out that no one’s pain is worse than anyone else’s. Because pain is pain.

My daughter with significant disabilities can mostly walk, talk, and see. Her needs are far less than those of a child whose condition is terminal or who cannot do any self care. But she still has needs, and it’s OK if I feel overwhelmed by that sometimes. Just because someone else has it worse, does not mean I have no struggles at all.

(If this comic had a second panel:) “You think that’s hard?”

Very lucky you…..

Just watch the BBC News!

If you were able to sit down at a table and see all of your friends’ troubles, you would keep your own.
