Many of you know that Mark and I have been having trouble with our house in Colorado. We have had renters in it and they have decided to stop paying the rent. For the first time ever we were in the position of having to evict someone. It has been awful. They were not very happy with us and we are dealing with the expense of fixing the damage. We have had lots of help from friends and family and we are thankful, but we are counting down the days until this will all be over. Today, as my stress level reached the highest point in weeks I sat down to gain up barings. Mark's computer screen was up and this was the article I read. It reminded me... It could always be worse.
Motorist survives three accidents in an hour

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German woman was involved in three car accidents in less than an hour that left a total of seven vehicles damaged but she suffered only slight injuries from the series of mishaps, police said Tuesday.
The 69-year-old woman from Berlin first crashed into three cars while trying to pull out of a supermarket car park on the Baltic resort island of Usedom.
Then, she accidentally stepped on the accelerator and sped across a lawn before crashing into a nearby house, police said. She was taken to hospital in an ambulance but that vehicle was then hit by a truck.
"She was actually fortunate that no one was seriously hurt in any of the accidents," said Zinnowitz police spokesman Axel Falkenberg. "The accidents were a little bit like dominoes toppling."

So Sorry to hear about the renter issues:( That is soo stressful for you guys!! I hope you can get it all taken of care of quickly! Yes- that story is crazy and definitely showa life can always get worse:)
After my year! of complaining, that talk that Thomas S. Monson gave about the mother who lost all of her children and had to dig their own graves with a spoon (all that was in her possession), I have found it nearly impossible to feel bad for myself. I don't know if that feeling will last but usually realizing others have it more difficult can't help but be a buoyant reminder.
Just come back and all will be well again. That's all there is to it!
