Not all grief and sorrow can be solved by MONEY
I have no problems money won't solve
I have no money
Therefore, I really have no problems
I just don't have any money
:/c}

Now think about this for a moment. Seriously! If all of your problems could just be solved with money, do you really think you have problems?

Money will not cure cancer. There are some seriously wealthy people who have died from cancer. Money did not solve their problem.

Money will not cure birth defects or disabilities. There are millions of rich and poor that are afflicted, and no amount of money will solve or cure their problems.

The point is: If all your problems can be solved by just having MONEY, then count yourself among the blessed because you really don't have any problems; you just don't have any (or enough) money.

This epitome (or conclusion) came to me while in the throws of depression over being POOR. I have always been told it is "NOT a good thing" to pray for money!

I then realized how fortunate I was, and my whole attitude about life changed. I believe if you honestly count your blessings each day while you are having your first cup of morning coffee (or whatever) the ability to cope with the daily challenges that life presents will be more in perspective to what "we" have vs. what we don't.

I think you will soon discover that you are wealthy beyond measure.

And the money will come. You will feel better. Your ability to think will improve. Your energy levels will rise and enable you to work harder longer to make the money that you need to solve your problems that only resulted from the fact that you "Had No Money".

Well, it worked for me, anyway!

Now I also decided to put this little life lesson here because of a story that I read by "October Lie" entitled "Less Fortunate". If this writers work is an example of what I will find here, I will be laughing, crying, sobbing, and generally getting very emotional over what I read here. And that folks I believe is a "GOOD THING".
