Playing the Glad Game

When you are feeling really low, one of the best things to do is to realise that no matter how bad you feel there's always someone in a worse position. It may sound unsympathetic and cold, but its true. Its called perspective.
Brigitte and I sometimes play the Glad Game to help us maintain perspective on what's important and how grateful we shoud be for the good fortune we have had thus far. What we cherish most are the memories, relationships and feelings of love and joy that have enriched our lives:
I'm so glad I'm healthy.
I'm so glad to be have been loved and to have loved.
I'm so glad our children were born in a free South Africa...
