I've got 99 inconveniences but a baby ain't one

This last 12 months has been very difficult for a lot of people that I know: friends, family, acquaintances or even friends of friends (and thus my friends are going through a difficult "support role"). It's been hard for a lot of people.

When I think about our problems they pale compared to the things that these people are going through. So much so that I realized that I don't have problems, but inconveniences. Hell, I don't even have 99 of them. I find it helps keep my blood pressure down when I think about that. It makes me feel lucky. It makes me want to reach out to the people that we know to give a helping hand. Some times we can't even do that, but we can be there to listen. It might not be enough, but it's something.

In the times in between I'll just continue to play in our tent.
