Wake Up Call

Life has a way of putting things into perspective. I got an email today from my best friend (really -- best friend ever) who now lives thousands of miles away.

Ya know how I've been kvetching about being 'depressed?' Well, she wrote to tell me she had a break-down and was just out of the hospital. She was planning suicide. Yes, she had actually made concrete plans. I am so sorry I cannot be there for her. I am blessed that my problems are minor in comparison.
