Only as happy....

Yesterday at cardio rehab, one of the therapists was talking to a patient about his children.  Seems that one of the patient's sons is giving him a lot of grief.  The therapist said, "you are only as happy as your saddest child."  It really stuck with me as my thought of the day.  I thought about it in many different ways, like:  Your house is only as clean as the messiest room.  There is so much to do in this too big house, but I can take it one room at a time.  Take care of my saddest child and then move on...
