phone calls from friends

Spent a quiet day at home today. Was a bit frustrated by my inability to turn computer components into a working computer. Several friends called during the day to chat. That greatly helped put my problems in their true perspective. I am doing the PC building as a sort of hobby-quest. There are supposed to be challenges. They were having serious problems with addiction, using, jobs and relationships.

I am grateful for the enhanced compassion and empathy that are direct result of my writing these gratitude posts. I am a much better friend and much less easily frustrated by life.
