Every night I fall asleep thinking about all the new information I came across that day, and tonight will be no different. Today I watched a show on a woman named Liz who has triplets who cannot see nor hear. The struggle that occurs for Liz, the triplets, Liz's husband, and Liz's other daughter on a daily basis is so astronomical and something I dare not even fathom. And yet here I sit, overwhelmed and frustrated by the assignments and deadlines in my life. The truth is, my life, no matter how drama-filled, hectic, lonely, or discouraging, it will never hold a candle to the lives of the incredible people I saw today.

Maybe you can take a step back and put your struggles in perspective.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/18588581-117518424194539001?l=luckyrenee.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Reneehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16976162751836165884noreply@blogger.com0
