Perspective

Can you find the rescue workers?

Whining alert! 

My back hurts.  Not my lower back but the upper, just below my neck.  It's nagged me and plagued me for a couple of years now.  Do you feel my pain?

I know of folks dealing with vehicle problems.  Cars getting old.  Water pumps, belts and batteries blowing at the most inopportune times.  And a friend today shared that their dishwasher leaked all over their kitchen.

I have friends who have lost or are facing job loss and who have to rattle the bushes once again.

My own troubles seemed pretty big as I fiddled in my little Dilbert cubicle.  Then I saw these images and grieved the shallowness of my heart.  It doesn't erase the reality of my problems but it certainly puts them in a different light.

WARNING:  The first image on the British news site is of an arm protruding from the rubble (arm only).  It is the only image of one who has lost their life.
