[QUOTE="red dirt shootist, post: 4164968, member: 52708"] And I think that's key to happiness, be happy for what you do have, instead of unhappy about what you don't have. Couple years ago, I ended up in the chemo/cancer ward, I had an infection in my leg due to surgery, and they told me it might have to come off. And there were some dark days. Well I went 7 days a week for 6 weeks, and I kicked it. But when I started there were kids, young women, old farts, there was a young gal that I saw every few days, probably pretty nice looking back when, before the wig and heavy makeup trying to hang on to a degree of normalcy, she told me this was her last chance, she had four weeks left in chemo, if it didn't work, they told her to prepare for the inevitable. I never saw her again. So one day I had a little talk with myself, "listen you sonofa b*tch, people all around dying, kids, people that have kids, and you're butt hurt about losing a leg? Suck it up buttercup, and shut up." It's all about perspective. [/QUOTE]
