Lines

During the Holiday season you spend a lot of time waiting in long lines . It was yesterday in one of these long lines were I saw a family in front of me also waiting . I noticed their youngest daughter too. This little girl was about ten. she had the hair on her head shaved off , Was as skinny as a twig and walked with the help of a cane. But she was happy . Out with her family eating Ice Cream and enjoying what I hope was a very long life . My problems really don't seem that important anymore ....

yep, it takes something like that to make you appreciate all that you have, including your health.

Matt, you have a wonderful ability to make a profound point using few words. I wish I could state things as simply as you do, it's a real gift. Your observations are always very powerful.
