Problems

 You look at a street drunk and think that he or she has so many problems, while you are so well off.  Stop and think about what that alcoholic might teach you.  They have only one problem as an alcoholic once said.  Where to get their next bottle or drink. They have lost everything, so they don’t have to worry about rent or mortgage, spouse or family issues, a job, or even their health.  All gone.  If they want, there are shelters for them or free food offers.  They have the simple life, the freedom of sleeping here or there.  So what about you?  Do you whine about mortgage or rent?  That means you have a roof over your head.  Do you worry about losing your job?  That means you have one, or are at least employable.  You worry about your kids or grandkids, means you have them to worry about and they still like you.  Our worries are about things we have or are within reasonable reach.  So the drunk on the street reminds me...stop whining.
