• Started post Friday on dealing with difficult people
• Don't think I'll manage to finish it

• Just needed to handle things calmly
• Things worked out fairly well
• Learned my cousin has cancer
• She's gone through other difficulties in her life recently already

• Feel grateful for what I have
• Feel less worried about my own problems
• Is it good or bad that other people's problems can make us feel better about our own?

• For us to realize things could always be worse
