Perspective

“I gotta say, I’m having a lot of feelings about this,” I tell the technician as I pop the fasteners on the knee brace he just fit me for.  My knee complains bitterly at the change.

He nods sympathetically as I continue, “On the other hand, there’s a guy out there with just one leg, so what am I bitching about?”

“Yeah, if I’m having a hard day, I remember the people that I try to help, and my life seems a lot better.”
