Appreciation

"Often great blessing and great sufferings abide within the same single life, and it was ever thus."

I have a difficult time wrapping my head around everything written in the post linked above (by The Anchoress, link from Althouse). But it certainly does remind me that I am unnecessarily dramatic much of the time, that I haven't exactly faced a ton of adversity and that my "self-analysis" is whinier than it is constructive. Good reminders, all.
