    I needed to read that today. Thanks for sharing. Total LOL on your reply about getting a notary public. Seriously--why do some people comment at all if it's going to be negative?!

    That's a lot more eloquent than my "I may be fat, but you're ugly, and I can lose weight'". :)

    In all seriousness, thank you for that :D

    What an awesome story! Yes, you are right and I try to keep in mind that every one has stress in their life and some HUGE STRESSES ARE NOT VISIBLE TO US. Whenever I look at a person and think they might have it easier than I, money, fitness, job or family situation, I realize ITS NOT TRUE. We all have our given situations, stresses, life is not fair, health issues we didn't do anything to deserve, disadvantages we don't deserve, on and on, everyone has their luggage, it's part of life. Even the most perfect of families only appear to be so, they have the hidden crap too, everyone does. The longer you live the more you see it. Since my life is half over now I view each day as precious, especially each day I have some semblance of health and can make it to the gym. Going to the gym is a blessing. Having food choices is a blessing. In every given situation, even in major crisis (I've had many in my 52 years) there is ALWAYS SOMETHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR, ALWAYS!!!!!

    Very inspiring. It's good to remind ourselves that others are in worse shape than we are. Thanks.
