"Would you sell both your eyes for a billion dollars?
What would you take for your two legs?
Your hands?
Your hearing?
Your children?
Your family?
Add up your assets,and you will find that you won't sell what you have for all the gold ever amassed by the Rockefellers, the Fords and the Morgans combined".
-A quote in a book I am reading by Dale Carnegie.
I guess if we look at it that way we are all very wealthy. I am learning that sometimes the best solution to a problem is focusing on what I have, then the problem starts to look pretty insignificant. Dale also goes on to say that sometimes we get so focused on the 10% bad that we lose sight of the 90% good. I lesson I am constantly learning.

Thank you for that - I really needed to hear that!
That is so true! I have to remind myself (Trav asually suggests that I remind myself because I'm not so good at it) every day.
