there are 2 types of 'problems' that cause stress and unhappiness
1. Inconvenient annoyances- your car not starting when you're late for work, you're child lipping you off, burning the toast, undercooked potatoes, NSF cheque, missing your plane......you get the idea?
2. REAL PROBLEMS- your husband being diagnosed with cancer...and dying 1 year later at age 25, finding out you can't have children, having a child with a learning disability, diagnosed with MS, a son addicted to Meth...you get the idea?
How different our lives would be if we lived knowing there will be those inconvenient annoyances and facing them with humor and grace. And, put our energy into the REAL PROBLEMS. I find most people who've never had REAL PROBLEMS are complainers and unhappy. I thank God everyday that He has showed me the JOY in life despite the inconvenient and real problems.
