One of lifes best coping mechanisms is to know the difference between an inconvenience and a problem. If you break your neck, if you have nothing to eat, if your house is on fire, then youve got a problem. Everything else is an inconvenience. Life is inconvenient. Life is lumpy. A lump in the oatmeal, a lump in the throat and a lump in the breast are not the same kind of lump. One needs to learn the difference.--Fulghum This has been a go to quote in our family for some time now. I also quote another great philosopher, Charlie Cramer, quite a bit. Once, when I was complaining to him about something, he remembered coping with the loss of my sister who died from cancer in her senior year in high school. He said that he often looked back at this own thoughts before that time and said to himself: Charlie: You used to think you had problems. You didnt REALLY have problems. Then he turned to me and said: Jimmy--you dont have problems. #FiveCentsPlease #TheDoctorIsWAYIn
