Day 2212: The One Thing I Keep Reminding Myself That Keeps Self-Pity at Bay

Someone else is happy with less than what I have– that’s what I keep reminding myself.

 

It’s 10 : 35  AM on day 2212 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read Judges 5:31, have breakfast, learn one new thing – in 1999, Astronomers focusing on a star at the center of the Milky Way measured precisely for the first time how long it takes the sun to complete one orbit (a galactic year) of our home galaxy: 226 million years.- and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $7 675 only  $4 825 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

 

Today I figured out why I never wallow in self-pity for too long and it’s because I hold tightly to this knowledge that someone somewhere is happy with less than what I have.
